John Dramani Mahama is the President of Ghana
President John Dramani Mahama has described the Solar for Industries Project as a major milestone in Ghana’s transition toward renewable energy and a central pillar of his government’s 24-Hour Economy initiative, aimed at powering industries within Tema, Dawhenya, and the Kpong enclave.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the project at the Dawa Industrial Zone, the President said the initiative is designed to ensure an uninterrupted power supply for manufacturing and export zones as part of the government’s Reset Agenda.
He explained that the project aligns with the country’s broader environmental and economic vision, connecting directly with programmes such as the Blue Water Guards, the Tree for Life Reforestation Programme, and the Clean Ghana Campaign.
“The Solar for Industries Initiative supports the wider environmental agenda,” President Mahama said.

“Every megawatt of clean energy we generate is a promise fulfilled; a pledge to our children that will leave them a healthier planet than the one we inherited,” he stated.
He added that the project embodies Ghana’s confidence in building a resilient and responsible economy, capable of producing, processing, and exporting competitively.
“This project shows that Ghana does not need to choose between economic growth and environmental protection. We can have both, and indeed, we must have both,” the President stated.
According to him, the Solar for Industries Project is more than a power plant; it represents a bold message that Ghana is ready to lead Africa’s next phase of industrial renaissance, powered by renewable energy and innovation.
“The Solar for Industries project is a message that Ghana is prepared to lead the next phase of Africa’s industrial renaissance; energised by the sun, propelled by innovation, and upheld by our collective determination,” he concluded.
