Akosombo Dam operating at full capacity despite water levels

The Volta River Authority says despite the low levels of water in the reservoir at Akosombo, the dam is operating at full capacity.

The Head of Corporate Communication at VRA, Sam Fletcher, in an interview with Radio Ghana said the authority is putting in place contingency measures to generate the needed power should the water level fall below operating levels.

Mr Fletcher also called for a conscious effort to conserve energy adding that it is more expensive to generate power than to conserve.
