Ghana

The Ghanaian Ministry of Energy and Green Transition officially launched the SREP-Program at the end of May. The program aims to extend electricity to underserviced regions, through initiatives such as the construction of 35 mini-grids, installation of 1,450 household solar units, and deployment of 12,000 rooftop photovoltaic systems.
The launch event took place in Lala, located in the Sene East District of the Bono East Region, marking the commencement of the Scaling-Up Renewable Energy Programme (SREP), which is set to bring clean and sustainable power to over 70,000 people.
By offering innovative financing solutions and supporting renewable energy projects, banks can drive the adoption of solar energy, making it accessible to a broader segment of the population. With the right policies, financial incentives, and international support, Ghana can position itself as a leader in Africa’s renewable energy landscape.
Priority areas for policy and market interventions are recommended to strengthen the country’s political landscape and enable sustainable cooling for all. The recommendations focus on integrating existing efforts, addressing policy gaps, and enhancing information, awareness and capacity at both national and local levels.
Despite being a considerable source of GHG emissions, the waste sector remains one of the most underutilized climate mitigation levers, particularly in developing countries. In Ghana, the transformation of waste from an environmental liability to a climate asset is being led by the Jospong Group of Companies.
