The company made the revelation in a press release it issued.
The statement said, “Karpowership wishes to thank all stakeholders who have been involved in the success of the Project.”

It was moved from the Tema Port to its current destination and it was expected to continue to use heavy fuel oil (HFO) until the middle of November 2019 when it will be connected to natural gas.
It will require 90 million standard cubic feet of gas daily (MMSCFD). This is in line with the government’s plans to ensure full utilization of gas resources from the Western enclave of the country.
It is expected to save the government millions of dollars annually.
