The Bui Dam is a 400-megawatt hydroelectric project on the Black Volta River at the southern end of Bui National Park. It is the second-largest hydroelectric generating plant in Ghana, after the Akosombo Dam.
A collaboration between the government of Ghana and Sino Hydro, a Chinese state-owned construction company, the dam's construction began in December 2009. Its first generator was commissioned on May 3, 2013, and the dam was inaugurated in December of the same year.
The dam's reservoir flooded about 20% of Bui National Park, impacting the habitats of the rare black hippopotamus and other wildlife. The project also required the resettlement of 1,216 people and affected the livelihoods of many more.
