The Deputy Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Chris Yalley, has reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to advancing Ghana’s clean energy transition through strategic partnerships, innovation and strong regulatory oversight.
He said key ongoing initiatives include the development of an Energy Performance Certification framework for buildings, progress on regulations for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and the rollout of the Net Metering Programme.
Mr Yalley made the remarks at the Sustainable Energy B2B Expo 2026 in Accra, organised by the Association of Ghana Industries Energy Service Centre (AGI-ESC) under the theme “Powering Industry Through Sustainable Energy.”
The event brought together policymakers, industry leaders, development partners, innovators and private sector stakeholders to explore practical pathways toward Ghana’s sustainable energy future.
He explained that the Net Metering Programme will allow consumers to generate electricity using rooftop solar systems and feed excess power back into the national grid.
The initiative is expected to broaden access to energy generation while easing pressure on the national grid.
Mr Yalley also provided updates on the Commission’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Ghana’s sustainable energy ecosystem through skills development, renewable energy expansion, and the upcoming Public Facility Sustainable Energy Action Plan (PF-SEAP).
He said the initiative is designed to speed up energy efficiency measures and promote the adoption of clean energy across public institutions.
The Sustainable Energy B2B Expo brought together stakeholders to explore dialogue, partnerships and investment opportunities aimed at supporting a cleaner, more resilient and energy-secure future for Ghana.
“Together, we can power Ghana’s future sustainably,” Mr Yalley said.
