Accra, Nov. 9, GNA – More than 600 entries have been received for the 2026 Ghana Energy Awards, the highest number in the scheme’s 10-year history.
The entries, submitted between September 30 and October 30, were assessed through a verification process, resulting in the selection of nominees across 30 competitive categories covering the power and petroleum sub-sectors.
A statement issued by the Ghana Energy Awards (GEA) Secretariat and copied to the Ghana News Agency said the record submissions included a significant number of first-time entrants, particularly from the private sector.
It said the response reflected growing recognition and acceptance of the awards within the energy industry.
The 30 categories include Energy Personality of the Year, CEO of the Year, Energy Icon of the Decade, Visionary Leadership Award, Energy Company of the Year, Upstream Company of the Year, Downstream Company of the Year, Private Sector Impact Leadership Award, Rising Star and Energy Reporter of the Year.
The next stage will involve further assessment, including site visits to selected nominees, with a Technical Team of Experts supporting the Awarding Panel in verifying the submissions.
The panel will subsequently conduct an independent scoring exercise to determine the eventual winners.
The 10th anniversary edition will be held under the theme: “Consolidating Ghana’s Energy Sector Gains: A Decade of Excellence, A Future of Sustainable Energy.”
The awards ceremony is scheduled for Friday, November 27, 2026, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.
It is expected to bring together policymakers, regulators, chief executives, industry leaders, technical experts and innovators to recognise outstanding contributions to Ghana’s energy sector.
