The President, John Dramani Mahama, has said that the controversial Power Distribution Services (PDS) concession deal was not fundamentally flawed but failed because of poor management and personal interests that overshadowed its implementation. LCIA tribunal dismissed all PDS claims

A solar-powered mechanised water system has been commissioned at Wiesi, a farming community in the Builsa district to address water scarcity and promote peaceful coexistence between local residents and transhumant herders.

What happened today is actually a new programme, and it aims to mobilise about 200 million US dollars, including private sector funding, for investments in solar panels on the roofs of both commercial and private buildings – and we are talking about 4,000 of these installations.

Under the initiative, approximately 4,000 rooftop solar installations with a total capacity of 137 megawatts (MW) will be developed for homes, small businesses, and industries. The project aims to reduce carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and promote local participation in the renewable energy sector.

The initiative, which will see 25 boreholes constructed in total, is being funded by the Canadian government. Beneficiary communities will include Moglaa, Bunglung, Gbandi, Dissah, Bulenga, Serek­pere,Yagrung, Yepalsi/Guno and Bakpaba. Others included, Nakpachee, Issah, Chum, Hakyagagaun, Zimu­oper and Tanvaare.

The government has announced plans to scale up the Water-Energy-Nexus Project to cover all irrigation schemes in Ghana as part of efforts to expand renewable energy use and strengthen national food security.

The project, which the MP also supported with the roofing, is a special programme that showcases and pilots youth-designed cleaning technology solutions developed by young people to address the challenges faced by women farmers with small holdings.

Ghana’s agriculture sector is witnessing unprecedented innovation as young local entrepreneurs develop clean energy-powered technologies to address persistent farming challenges, positioning the country at the forefront of Africa’s green agricultural transformation.
