The members of the Ghana Energy Awards Secretariat and Awarding Panel paid a courtesy call on the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, at the Ministry’s office in Accra on May 13, 2025. The delegation included esteemed members of the Awarding Panel, led by Lawyer Kwame Jantuah, Chairman of the Awards and renowned Energy Consultant.
He was joined by Dr. Kwame Ampofo, former Board Chairman of the Energy Commission; Dr. Jemima Nunoo, former Technical Director for Media and Strategic Communications at the Office of the Former President; Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, renowned Evangelist and Economist; and Prof. Felix Asante, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Development at the University of Ghana (absent).
The Awards Secretariat, led by Ing. Henry Teinor, Event Director, also included Mr. Eugene Amoako, Mr. Kwame Atiase, Mr. Emmanuel Abossey, and Miss Stephanie Tetteh. The meeting served as a platform to deepen strategic collaboration, marking a nine-year relationship focused on promoting excellence and innovation in Ghana’s energy sector.
Key discussions explored how the Awards could help illuminate gaps, encourage sector-wide dialogue, and promote investments, particularly at a time when Ghana’s energy landscape is expanding to include green transition efforts. Speaking during the meeting, Lawyer Kwame Jantuah highlighted the vital role of the Awards in supporting a robust and resilient energy sector.
“The energy sector needs independent institutions like the Ghana Energy Awards to assess the performance of players and help keep the sector on track. Our initiative is bolstered by the Ministry’s support, the World Energy Council Ghana, carefully selected themes, and a rigorous, transparent awarding process validated by Forvis Mazars and Casely Brooke Law Firm. Our goal is to ensure sector institutions align with global benchmarks, a standard we proudly uphold.”
The Honourable Minister welcomed the team’s proactive engagement and reaffirmed the Ministry’s openness to oversight and collaboration. The Event Director, Ing. Henry Teinor, expressed gratitude to the Ministry for its continued support and emphasized the significance of the longstanding partnership.
“We value this partnership deeply. It extends beyond the awards night and is reflected in our continuous engagement and consultative approach throughout the year.” The 9th Ghana Energy Awards is set to launch soon, continuing its legacy of spotlighting excellence and strengthening sector performance across Ghana.
