Ghana’s Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, met with Israel’s Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Roey Gilad, to discuss ways to bolster economic cooperation and bilateral trade between the two nations. A key area of focus was renewable energy deployment and grid stability in Ghana.
According to sources, the meeting aimed to explore new opportunities for cooperation, building on existing relations between Ghana and Israel. This development is in line with Ghana’s efforts to accelerate its renewable energy transition, as announced by Minister Jinapor ¹. The minister has emphasized the importance of collective action in achieving this goal, calling on public and private sector stakeholders to support the government’s energy transition efforts.
Minister Jinapor has outlined a five-point agenda for achieving Ghana’s renewable energy transition, including the establishment of a Renewable Energy and Green Transition Fund ². This fund aims to support research and development of home-grown green technologies, provide solar-powered infrastructure, and promote energy efficiency education.
The collaboration between Ghana and Israel is expected to enhance Ghana’s efforts to improve its energy sector, particularly in the areas of renewable energy and grid stability.
