At the US-Africa Nuclear Energy Summit which opened on Monday at the Labadi Beach Hotel, Energy minister Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh expressed Ghana’s appreciation to the United States for choosing Ghana as the destination to host such an important summit, largely, deepening Ghana’s nuclear energy prospects. For me, it is also a testament of the long-standing healthy bilateral ties between our two countries on several fronts.
Contributing to a panel discussion on the topic “Nuclear Power as a Catalyst for Economic Development”, the minister indicated clearly, that Ghana’s quest for nuclear power as part of its energy mix is purely for peaceful, civil purposes.
He added that, Ghana stands ready for a robust Nuclear Partnership Programme which will stand the test of time and bring the needed energy security to Ghanaians.
“As we delve deeper into conversations for the next 3 days, we will continue to emphasize Ghana’s desire for a clean, reliable and sustainable energy, and our intentions to explore the nuclear route because of the many benefits therein”.
