A delegation of thirty students from the Georgetown University in Washington D.C., USA, visited the Energy Commission of Ghana on January 6, 2025, to explore energy solutions and collaborate on energy research.
Led by Professor Mario Ramirez, the students were hosted at the Nearly Zero Energy Building where they delved into energy efficiency, renewable technologies and Ghana’s energy transformation efforts.
The Executive Secretary, Ing. Oscar Amonoo-Neizer, welcomed the group and highlighted the Commission’s leadership in driving energy change through initiatives like the Energy Academy.
The visit included presentations on the Commission’s role, challenges in Ghana’s energy sector and opportunities for collaboration.
The students, divided into five groups, tackled critical topics, including: Public-Private Partnership Framework for Solar Energy, Innovative Financing Mechanism for Renewable Energy, Policy and Regulatory Analysis for Solar Power Expansion, Women-Centric Solar Energy Projects in Rural Areas and Battery Storage Technologies.
Each group worked closely with Energy Commission experts to develop practical solutions, emphasising the importance of academia-industry partnerships in addressing global energy challenges.
The Energy Commission looked forward to the students’ research outcomes and the long-term impact of this collaboration.
