The Deputy Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Mr. Richard Gyan-Mensah, has inaugurated an 850kWp grid-tied solar power system at the Sintex Tank Factory within the Tema Industrial Park, marking a significant boost to private-sector participation in Ghana’s renewable energy transition.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, the Deputy Minister commended Sintex Industries for what he described as a “significant and forward-looking investment” in clean and affordable energy.
He noted that by integrating solar technology into its operations, Sintex is not only reducing operational costs but also cutting carbon emissions and aligning with global sustainability benchmarks.
Mr. Gyan-Mensah underscored that the project directly advances government’s renewable energy objectives, particularly Ghana’s commitment to increase the share of modern renewables in the national energy mix from the current 5% to 10% by 2030.
Encouraging broader industry participation, he urged both large- and small-scale businesses to emulate Sintex’s leadership by incorporating solar and other renewable technologies into their production processes.
“This is an opportunity to transform our factories, offices, and homes into champions of clean energy. Together, we can build a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future for Ghana,”
he remarked.
The installation, he added, represents a major milestone in strengthening Ghana’s private-sector contribution to a greener and more resilient national energy system.
