Sonon Asogli Thermal Power Station

Ghana

Sunon Asogli Thermal Power Station, also known as Asogli Thermal Power Station, is a 560 MW natural gas–fired thermal power station in Ghana. It is privately owned by Sunon Asogli Power Ghana Limited and was the first privately owned electricity generation installation in the history of Ghana. The station ranks among the nation's top five terminal power plants. In October 2024, Sunon Asogli Power Ghana Limited announced the suspension of its 560 MW plant, effective October 8, citing the Electricity Company of Ghana’s (ECG) failure to honor overdue payment obligations. As of the end of September 2024, ECG owed approximately US $259 million (excluding fuel)—a 23 % increase in receivables since January—while only around 22.6 % of invoices had been settled via the Cash Waterfall Mechanism.
