Women farmers and miners in Ghana have called on the government to provide renewable energy infrastructure to empower women, promote sustainable agriculture, and support green mineral extraction as part of the country rsquo;s energy transition agenda aimed at reducing poverty and improving livelihoods.

The digital platform will support nationwide tracking of renewable energy installations in Ghana for the strategic implementation of the Scaling-Up Renewable Energy Programme (SREP).

President John Dramani Mahama has launched a new vegetable development project built around solar-powered irrigation to support year-round production and help reduce Ghana’s dependence on imported tomatoes, onions and peppers.

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.
