Introduction
As part of Ghana’s national electrification strategy, the Northern Region required significant infrastructure upgrades to improve electricity access, safety, and reliability in underserved rural communities. The area faced challenges including frequent outages, low voltage, and outdated pole-mounted distribution systems. To address these issues, the local government collaborated with ABILKEEN to implement a comprehensive grid modernization plan.
