• Volta River Authority
  
  The Volta River Authority (VRA) was established on 26th April 1961, under the Volta River Development Act, Act 46 of the Republic of Ghana.
  
  The Authority's primary function is to generate and supply electrical energy for industrial, commercial and domestic use in Ghana.
  
  The Authority is also responsible for safe-guarding the health and socio-economic well being of the inhabitants of the communities alongside the lake, and management of any incidental issues including maintenance of the environment.
  
  VRA started with the development of the hydroelectric potentials of the Volta River and the construction of a nation-wide grid transmission system. Today, it has assumed responsibility for the development of other energy potentials of the Country.
