One promising avenue gaining traction among engineers, researchers, and policymakers is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the energy sector. AI technologies offer a wide range of applications that can optimize power generation, improve grid resilience, predict equipment failure, and manage demand-side consumption.

Wahu Hero introduces a suite of innovative tools that put riders in control of their ride: Real-time bike tracking for enhanced security and autonomy, Flexible in-app payments and subscription management, Component purchases and access to maintenance services, Battery monitoring and performance analytics and Carbon emissions tracking.

The initiative aims to provide critical financial support to households and businesses seeking to transition to solar and green energy solutions, aligning with Ghana’s national efforts to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency.

A groundbreaking study published in the International Journal of Green Energy reveals that Ghana stands to recover as much as $4 million from solar photovoltaic (PV) waste through the implementation of proactive recycling and materials recovery strategies.

These connected policies, mini-grids, and off-grid projects are designed to attract climate-focused investment and private-sector partnerships. In conversation with Techpoint Africa, Erik Nygard, CEO and Founder of Kofa, an energy startup based in Ghana, discusses why Ghana is one of the best countries for green tech companies to thrive.

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.

Ghana’s energy sector is not broken — but it is underperforming. The path to transformation is clear: Fix what’s weak. Accelerate what’s working. Align with our economic priorities.

Net-metering allows solar panel users to feed excess electricity into the national grid in exchange for credits on their power bills. The system enables households and businesses to reduce energy costs and lessen reliance on fossil fuels.

Kofa, a clean-tech startup based in Ghana, has secured $8 million via a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to scale its battery-swapping infrastructure, with the goal of boosting electric mobility and promoting clean energy adoption throughout West Africa.
