Deputy Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Richard Gyan-Mensah
The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has urged closer collaboration among key stakeholders to build a more sustainable and vibrant energy sector capable of powering homes, industries and national development.
Speaking at the 4th edition of West Africa’s Largest Building, Construction, Power, Electrical, and Energy Exhibition in Accra, a Deputy Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Richard Gyan-Mensah, stressed the need for greater commitment to renewable energy and innovation.
“It is time we show true commitment to sustainable energy to light up every home and power every factory in Ghana,” the Deputy Minister stated, emphasising that the transition to cleaner energy is critical to achieving economic growth and environmental resilience.
The event, which brought together investors, energy experts, and policymakers, focused on partnerships for sustainable infrastructure and energy security in the subregion.
The High Commissioner of India to Ghana, Manish Gupta, also addressed the gathering, reaffirming India’s commitment to deepening bilateral cooperation and supporting Ghana’s energy and infrastructure development.
“India and Ghana share a strong history of partnership, and we are ready to elevate it to a comprehensive level that supports Ghana’s economic transformation,” he noted.
Ambassador Gupta commended Ghana’s energy transition agenda, describing it as a model for clean, affordable, and inclusive power delivery in Africa.
He underscored the role of solar energy not only as a sustainable power source but also as a key driver of industrialisation and agricultural productivity — particularly in northern Ghana.
He called for innovative financing and technology transfer to accelerate renewable energy deployment across the country.
