Per a report by thebftonline.com, it is also the result of a cut in administrative expenses and an aggressive export drive.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of VRA, Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa, attributed the success to attractive pricing regimes offered to customers in the highly competitive regional market, as well as the coming on board of new local customers through pricing incentives, and most significant of all, the refinancing of expensive short- and medium-term loans.
Antwi-Darkwa went on to say that VRA will continue to export significant amounts of power to the sub-region as this would ensure decent cash flow.
