Ghana’s Energy Minister has visited the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to commend staff for their pivotal role in regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector.

During the visit, the Minister shared updates on a comprehensive reform programme developed from the work of a Downstream Review Committee established after he assumed office. 

A major aspect of the reforms includes plans to repeal and replace the NPA Act 2005 (Act 691) as amended, with the goal of modernising regulation and aligning the sector with global best practices.

Ghana’s seat of government, Jubilee House, is walking the talk in its quest to install solar PV panels after the president of the West African nation promised last year to ensure that the seat of government installs solar power to reduce the cost of electricity consumed.

At the 8th Assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), Ghana highlighted its commitment to the global clean energy transition. The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Jinapor, presented the country’s statement, emphasizing key national initiatives to accelerate renewable energy adoption.
