The Bui Power Authority is collaborating with the Ghana Armed Forces to build a Forward Operating base (FOB) at the Bui Generating Station (BGS) to among others, provide security for the national assets on the Bui Hydroelectric Project Acquired Land of about 1,800 square kilometres.

The 36No facility which will accommodate 150 All Ranks, an administration block, a clinic, a square, an armoury, a recreational centre, a magazine, a bunker, among others, will serve as a strategic location for the Military to conduct operations to provide security and repel threats from neigbouring countries bordering Ghana.  

At a brief sod-cutting ceremony to commence work at Bui, the Chief Executive Officer of BPA, Fred Oware, explained that the Government of Ghana’s investment within the BPA Acquired Land makes it necessary for steps to be taken to secure the area, especially ahead of the development of the Bui City concept.
