Parliament has approved a substantial allocation of GHS 1.2 billion for the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, paving the way for significant advancements in country’s energy sector in the 2025 fiscal year.
This considerable funding aims to bolster key initiatives focused on enhancing electricity distribution and spearheading Ghana’s transition to renewable energy.
A pivotal objective for the Ministry in 2025 is the procurement and installation of one million smart meters in its operational areas, facilitated by the Programme for Results policy. This endeavor is expected to significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of electricity distribution.
Furthermore, the Ministry seeks to introduce private sector participation in the electricity distribution sector, leveraging the expertise and resources of private entities to enhance efficiency and service delivery. This strategic move is anticipated to yield tangible benefits for consumers and stakeholders alike.
In addition, the Energy Ministry has outlined plans to embark on the Accra-Kumara transmission line project, a critical initiative aimed at bolstering power supply reliability between the two major cities.
This project is expected to have a profound impact on the overall energy landscape in Ghana.
Lastly, the Government’s “Goes Solar” project will be implemented as part of a broader effort to promote clean and sustainable energy solutions. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing country’s carbon footprint.
