Heath Goldfields Donates Three Transformers to Boost Power Supply in Prestea-Huni Valley

Heath Goldfields Limited has donated three electricity transformers to the Prestea-Huni Valley Constituency in a move expected to improve power supply and enhance economic activities across Bogoso, Prestea and Wassa Nkran.

The donation, made in response to a request by the Member of Parliament for Prestea-Huni Valley, Hon. Robert Wisdom Cudjoe, is aimed at addressing electricity challenges that have affected households, businesses and the delivery of essential public services in parts of the municipality. The transformers are expected to strengthen the local power distribution network and contribute to more reliable electricity for residents and institutions.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Hon. Robert Wisdom Cudjoe expressed appreciation to Heath Goldfields Limited for responding promptly to the constituency's request. He described the intervention as a testament to what can be achieved when the private sector collaborates with public institutions to respond to the development needs of communities.

"This intervention demonstrates what can be achieved when industry and public leadership work together to address community needs," the Member of Parliament said.

The Municipal Chief Executive for Prestea-Huni Valley, Hon. Dr. Matthew Kofi Ayeh, also commended the company for its timely intervention. He noted that the swift response by the Managing Director reflected the importance of promoting local participation in the management of Ghana's strategic natural resources.

According to him, Ghanaian leadership within the mining industry is often better placed to appreciate the priorities of host communities and respond quickly to their pressing concerns, particularly in areas that directly affect livelihoods and local economic growth.

Managing Director of Heath Goldfields Limited, Mr. Patrick Appiah Mensah, reaffirmed the company's commitment to ensuring that its operations create value beyond mineral extraction. He emphasized that corporate responsibility extends to supporting initiatives that improve the quality of life in host communities and foster sustainable development.

"Our responsibility extends beyond mining. We will continue working with government, traditional authorities and our communities to deliver interventions that create lasting value and improve lives," Mr. Mensah stated.

He added that partnerships with local authorities, traditional leaders and community stakeholders remain central to the company's approach to community development, stressing that sustainable mining must be accompanied by meaningful investments that leave a lasting positive impact on the lives of residents. This additional emphasis is an editorial expansion based on the company's stated commitment to collaboration and lasting value.

The handover ceremony was attended by traditional authorities (Nananom), the Member of Parliament, the Municipal Chief Executive, the Principal of Heath Goldfields Limited, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor II, members of the company's management team, community representatives and members of the media, highlighting the broad stakeholder support for the initiative.

The donation underscores the role that partnerships between government, traditional authorities and the private sector can play in addressing critical infrastructure challenges in mining communities. Reliable electricity remains essential for business growth, healthcare delivery, education and other public services, making investments in power infrastructure an important contribution to local development.

For Heath Goldfields Limited, the transformer donation forms part of its broader commitment to responsible mining and community development. The company says it remains focused on enriching lives through sustainable gold mining while working closely with stakeholders to deliver projects that create long-term social and economic benefits for its host communities.
