Energy Minister Reaffirms Gov’t Commitment to Sustainable Energy Transition

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transforming Ghana’s energy sector into a reliable driver of economic growth, industrialization, and social development.

Speaking at the Government Accountability Series held at the Presidency on Wednesday, July 26, 2025, Mr. Jinapor highlighted the numerous interventions and policy initiatives introduced by the Mahama-led administration over the past seven months to revitalize the energy sector.

He announced that the Ministry’s mandate has been expanded, with its name officially changed from the Ministry of Energy to the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.

This rebranding, he explained, reflects a renewed focus on steering Ghana’s energy and economic agenda toward sustainability and long-term growth. The shift emphasizes the adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, mini-hydros, and other clean technologies to ensure a just and equitable transition to a low-carbon future.

As part of this vision, Mr. Jinapor revealed that the Ministry had launched Ghana’s Scaling-Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) on May 30, 2025, at Lala in the North East Region. The initiative, supported by an $85 million grant from the African Development Bank, the Climate Investment Fund, and the Government of Ghana, aims to deploy 12,000 net-metered rooftop solar PV systems in homes across the country.

Additionally, the government plans to construct 35 mini-grids to supply electricity to 70,000 residents in 45 island communities, alongside the distribution of 1,450 solar home systems to both households and public facilities.

Mr. Jinapor also explained the Ministry’s strategy of utilizing solar energy during the day to reduce dependency on hydro power, allowing dams to serve as energy storage for nighttime use. This approach, he said, would enhance energy efficiency and better manage the country’s hydro resources.
