The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor (MP), has inaugurated the newly reconstituted board of the Energy Commission of Ghana, regulator for electricity and natural gas.
The new board is chaired by Prof. John Gartchie Gatsi, a former Dean of the University of Cape Coast School of Business and Advisor to the Governor of the Bank of Ghana.
The board members include Ing. Mrs. Eunice A. Biritwum (Ag. Executive Secretary), Dr. Audrey Smock Amoah, Mr. Danny Adzei Anang, Ms. Yorm Ama Abledu, Prof. Dr. Ernest Ofori Asamoah, and Hon. Naser Mahama Toure.
Addressing the new board, Minister for Energy and Green Transition John Abdulai Jinapor underscored the critical role the commission plays in Ghana’s energy sector. “Ghana is at a pivotal stage; private sector participation in the electricity distribution value chain, green transition agenda, gas as a transition fuel, and implementation of the liquid fuel-to-gas swap, competitive procurement of new generation capacity and standardization of PPAs, and attracting investment for resilient infrastructure. The Commission is the principal advisor to government on power issues.”
He emphasized that their decisions would be pivotal in enhancing progress made so far, addressing current challenges, and capitalizing on opportunities within the power sector.
The Minister further charged the new board, urging them to “provide strategic direction and visionary leadership. Be bold, innovative, transparent, and uphold good governance.”
The Board Chairman, Prof. John Gartchie Gatsi, expressed gratitude to the President and assured the Minister that the Board’s decisions would align with the government’s key priorities.
