Valco was still importing alumina from Jamaica and using none of Ghanas bauxite.
It was paying much less for electricity than the local companies did. (At times it used nearly half the electricity from the dam.)
It didnt have to pay tax.
Frequent droughts caused the level of water in the lake to fall- which meant less electricity.
Ghana had to export its bauxite.
The lake was not used for irrigation, transport or tourism. (Only fishing)
Most villages in Ghana still have no electricity!
