Accra, May 6, GNA – The Energy Commission has called for an inclusive, transparent and accountable approach to Ghana’s energy transition.
The call was made at the Civil Society National Forum on Energy Transition held in Accra.
Ghana is targeting 10 per cent of its energy generation from renewable sources by 2030.
Mr. Chris Nanabanyin Yalley, Deputy Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, said Ghana was committed to expanding renewable energy and improving energy efficiency, while speaking at the forum in Accra.
He said there was the need to rapidly expand solar power and adopt more decentralised energy systems to achieve the target.
Mr. Yalley said that it was important to improve the power grid, accelerate the installation of electric vehicle charging stations, update digital regulations, and ensure energy remains affordable and secure.
He underscored the importance of a “just” transition that created green jobs and included civil society in oversight and accountability.
Mr. Yalley encouraged stakeholders to see the energy shift as not just a technical task, but also a social and economic priority.
The forum brought together civil society members, policymakers and energy sector representatives to discuss Ghana’s energy transition plan.
Participants commended the Energy Commission for its openness to closer collaboration with non-governmental organisations.
