Accra, Nov. 27, GNA-\u202f The Energy Commission (EC) opens Energy Academy to advance the training of energy professionals and experts for Ghana\u2019s energy sector.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The academy stationed at the Energy Commission\u2019s Net Zero Energy Building in Accra would empower energy professionals across Africa with cutting-edge expertise in energy policy advice and direction.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Academy was launched in conjunction with the Energy Forum Series, which\u00a0 provided the platform for reflection on Ghana\u2019s 30 years of energy reforms.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The launch was attended by key personalities from the energy sector landscape as they shared insight on how to improve Ghana\u2019s energy sector.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an address, Mr. Herbert Krapah, Minister for Energy, said the Energy Academy was a critical part of reforming Ghana\u2019s energy sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said it was designed to be a premier centre for learning,\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
collaboration, and innovation, offering transformative training and certification programmes to meet the demands of our energy sector.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Academy intends to build on this important initial collaboration with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to partner with institutions like the Brew Hammond Energy Centre, international organisations, and leading industry players to deliver cutting-edge instruction and insights aimed at positioning Ghana at the forefront of global energy developments,\u201c he said.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Minister said the academy housed within the impressive Nearly Zero Energy Building embodied the principles of sustainability that his outfit was championing.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
He noted that the eco-friendly environment reflected Ghana\u2019s commitment to green practices and served as an inspiration for others to think innovatively about the future of energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Oscar Amonoo-Neizer, the Executive Secretary of Energy Commission,\u202f said the partnerships between government, private sector players, development agencies, and civil society were instrumental in shaping Ghana\u2019s energy trajectory.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said similarly, the success of the Energy Academy would depend on this same spirit of collective action among all the relevant stakeholders.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The executive secretary said the Energy Academy was a direct response to lessons from the past, noting that stakeholders must recognise that the cornerstone of a thriving energy sector is it\u202f Skilled professionals, empowered by knowledge and innovation.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The experts and professionals, he said, are essential to tackling the challenges of energy security, access, and sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Professor Ebenezer Oduro Owusu said the dual event was a testament to the thoughtful planning and visionary leadership of the Energy Commission.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Energy Forum, he said, provided a timely opportunity to reflect on 30 years of progress, challenges, and innovations in Ghana\u2019s energy sector.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said It allowed stakeholders to evaluate the impacts of reforms on energy access, security, and sustainability while charting a path for an even brighter future.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dual event featured a panel discussion that included experts within the energy sector, notably Mr. Jabesh Amissah Arthur, energy expert; Dr. Alfred-Ahenkorah; Mr. Ishmael Ejukumhene; and Mr. Micheal Opam.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
