Kpong Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Akuse, Ghana.
The Kpong Dam spans 240 meters across the Volta River, featuring 15 radial gates and producing up to 160 megawatts of electrical power.
Constructed between 1977 and 1982, the Kpong Dam emerged as a supplementary power source to support the operations of the Akosombo Dam upstream.
The construction of the dam led to the establishment of four new villages, reshaping the settlement patterns of local communities in the Eastern Region.
Located 80 kilometers from Accra, the facility operates as a run-of-river project, with water flow management coordinated through the upstream Akosombo Dam.
The power station incorporates unusually large Francis turbines measuring 8.2 meters in diameter due to the specific design requirements of the 11.75-meter head.
