The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, has held discussions with a delegation from the British High Commission in Accra led by the British High Commissioner to Ghana, H.E. Christian Rogg, on reforms and investment opportunities in Ghana’s energy sector.
The meeting focused on ongoing reforms undertaken by the government since assuming office, particularly in the electricity distribution sector, efforts to expand the national grid and measures aimed at reversing the decline in the country’s crude oil production.
Dr. Jinapor highlighted progress made in implementing reforms designed to improve efficiency and sustainability within the energy sector while outlining a number of priority projects requiring financing and technical support.
The Minister also briefed the delegation on government’s renewable energy agenda, including the establishment of the Renewable Energy and Green Transition Fund to accelerate the country’s transition to cleaner energy sources.
According to him, the initiative is being complemented by the deployment of solar energy solutions at critical public installations, the introduction of solar-powered irrigation pumps, the installation of solar streetlights and programmes aimed at promoting solar energy adoption in homes.
He further highlighted recent policy measures introduced to support the development of Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure as part of Ghana’s broader green transition strategy.
For his part, the British High Commissioner, H.E. Christian Rogg, reaffirmed the United Kingdom’s commitment to supporting Ghana’s energy sector transformation.
He expressed the readiness of the British Government and UK businesses to partner with Ghana in delivering key energy projects and advancing initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable energy development and climate resilience.
