Born of Ghanaian vision and leadership, Madison Alumina is not just another project; it is a national movement to transform Ghana's industrial landscape through innovation, sustainability, and local empowerment anchored by a twelve (12) billion Euros 'Father Hermes' German funding.

The project is expected to commence in December 2025 and begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2028.

The Madison Integrated Alumina and Aluminium Project is driving inclusive development across six key regions of Ghana:

  • Shama (Western Region) - Home to the refinery, smelter.
  • Tema/Prampram (Greater Accra Region) - Serving as the base for the caustic soda plant and project coordination.
  • Nyinahin (Ashanti Region) - the bauxite heartland and raw material hub.
  • Savannah Region - power hub
  • Upper West Region - Power hub
  • Northern Region - where renewable energy installations will create lasting opportunities and balanced regional growth.

Together, these regions form the backbone of a truly Ghanaian-led industrial revolution, powered by homegrown expertise and strengthened through global partnership.

At the core of this transformative effort are:

  • A 5,000 MW renewable energy program - one of the largest solar initiatives globally.
  • A modern alumina refinery and aluminium smelter to anchor national value addition.
  • A cement plant to process red mud residue, ensuring environmental sustainability.
  • A caustic soda plant to support industrial input supply.

  • Strategic partnerships with Germany's leading industrial and technology firms, providing the transfer of advanced skills, systems, and solutions to uplift Ghana's workforce and economy.

This project is projected to:

  • Create over 50,000 direct jobs and more than 1 million indirect jobs nationwide.
