Norwegian energy company Jacobsen Elektro, through its Ghanaian unit Jacobson Jelco, plans to develop a 360MW combined-cycle power plant (CCPP) on 45 acres of land at Inchaban in the Shama District in the western region. Construction of the plant, which will use natural gas and light crude oil to generate electricity, is likely to begin in 2014 after the completion of the necessary approval procedure.

Ghana is aimed at becoming a major exporter of electricity as part the country's broader energy sector vision for 2020 and is endowed with such opportunity under the West African Power Pool (WAPP) Project.
