Abu Dhabi-Mubasher: Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) and Ghana-owned Volta River Authority (VRA) have started successful commercial operations at the expanded T2 power plant in Ghana.

The plant is now feeding electricity to the national grid, delivering 330 megawatt-power which accounts for around 15% of the country’s total capacity, according to a bourse statement.

The company owns 90% of the Takoradi T2 plant, the statement said, adding that all power produced from T2 is sold under a 25-year power purchase agreement with the VRA which owns the remaining 10%.

TAQA also started commercial operations at its Bergermeer gas storage facility in the Netherlands in April, and plans to commission its two remaining major power and water projects in India and Fujairah later 2015.

The company is likely to start producing oil from its Cladhan field in the North Sea within weeks and at its Atrush project in the Kurdistan region of Iraq in 2016.
