VRA commences spillage at Kpong, Akosombo Dams

The Volta River Authority (VRA) has initiated controlled spillage at the Akosombo and Kpong Dams, effective from Friday, September 15, 2023.

This decision has been made in response to the consistent increase in the lake level, attributed to high inflows, as confirmed by Ing. Edward Obeng Kenzo, Deputy Chief Executive of E&O.
