Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has assured international investors that President John Dramani Mahama is firmly committed to restoring confidence in the country’s upstream petroleum sector.
Mr Jinapor explained that the investment plan was anchored in the National Energy Transition Framework and the Renewable Energy Master Plan, which implemented impactful initiatives like the smart solar street lighting, installation of electric vehicle superchargers along major highways and an increase in renewable energy capacity to at least 1,400 megawatts.
Appointed by President John Mahama in consultation with the Council of State, the board is expected to deliver on several key priorities: operational revitalisation, accelerated green transition, human capital development, and strengthened public engagement.
Former Deputy Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor has revealed that investors in the petroleum sector are avoiding Ghana, perceiving it as a “hostile investment destination.”
