Bui Dam, Hydroelectric power station at Black Volta River, Ghana
The Bui Dam reaches a height of 108 meters and stretches 492 meters across the Black Volta River with three main turbines for power generation.
The construction of the Bui Dam started in 2007 under Sinohydro Corporation management, leading to its completion and operational status in December 2013.
The dam project required the relocation of 1,216 residents and transformed the surrounding landscape, affecting local fishing and agricultural practices.
The facility generates 400 megawatts of electricity through three 133-megawatt Francis turbines and one additional 4-megawatt smaller turbine unit.
The reservoir created by the main dam and two auxiliary saddle dams holds 12.57 billion cubic meters of water for power generation and irrigation.
