Volta River Authority denies ownership of helicopter in Nkawkaw emergency landing

The Volta River Authority (VRA) has issued a firm denial over recent media reports that wrongly attributed a helicopter emergency landing in Nkawkaw, Eastern Region, to the Authority.

The incident, which occurred on Monday, August 11, involved a helicopter that was forced to land due to poor visibility caused by bad weather.

In a statement released today, Wednesday, August 13, and signed by VRA’s David Adomako Mensah, Director of Corporate Affairs and External Relations, the power producer emphasised that it does not own or operate any aircraft.

“We would like to state unequivocally that the said helicopter does not belong to VRA and neither does VRA operate aviation services,” the statement reads. Additionally, the statement clarifies that the aircraft in question belongs to Volta River Aviation Limited (VRAL), a separate entity registered with the Petroleum Commission.

The VRA underscored its core mandate, stating: “The mandate of the Volta River Authority is to provide affordable reliable electricity to power economies and add value to lives. Our mandate does not include the provision of aviation services.”

The Authority urged the public and media outlets to disregard erroneous reports and encouraged journalists to verify such claims with VRA’s Corporate Affairs and External Relations Department prior to publication.

For accurate information, the VRA advised media queries be directed to [email protected] or to Francis Kobena Abban, Manager of Corporate Communications and Branding, at 0302-218551 or 0245-823734.

Meanwhile, Volta River Aviation Limited, a separate company established in the 1990s and registered with the Petroleum Commission—operates helicopter services in Ghana.
VRAL holds an air operator certificate since 2002, and specialises in services such as offshore transport, security operations, mining logistics, insurance, and medical evacuations.

This clarification comes amid heightened public interest in the Nkawkaw landing, following circulation of inaccurate claims tying the incident to the Volta River Authority.

The Volta River Authority (VRA) is Ghana’s leading power generation company, committed to providing reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity to drive national development.

Established in 1961, VRA operates an integrated power system that includes hydro, thermal, and renewable energy sources, ensuring energy security and efficiency. With a mission to power Ghana’s growth, VRA continues to innovate and expand its energy portfolio while prioritizing environmental sustainability, economic progress, and the well-being of communities.
