Energy minister, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh and a team from the Ministry have met with the members of the Council of State at the Accra International Conference Centre on the subject of the energy transition.
In his brief remarks, the minister referred to the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference which set the ball rolling in respect of the need to implement important measures to control the extreme weather conditions that have battered the globe in recent years.
He again referred to the harmful effects of deforestation and the drying up of water bodies, with severe migratory consequences, and noted that there was a great imperative for us as a country to address the important issue of energy transition that will help move away from the harmful effects of fossil fuel.
Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh was pleased by the vibrant engagement following the presentation by the Ministry, which included helpful suggestions, questions and observations by the members on the subject of the energy transition.
The Ministry has engaged several stakeholders across the country on this subject and will continue to seek consensus in the drawing up of a National Energy Transition Plan that reflects the broad aspiration of Ghanaians.
