The Institute for Energy Security (IES) in Ghana is celebrating two major appointments of its board members to key positions in the country’s energy and environmental sectors.
Dr. Shafic Suleman, a board member at IES and Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Oil and Gas Studies at the University of Cape Coast in the Central Region, has been appointed as the Executive Secretary of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC).
According to the energy think tank, Dr. Shafic’s appointment is a well-deserved recognition of his exceptional expertise and contributions to the energy sector, particularly in energy and petroleum economics, energy policy and law, sustainability, climate, and risk management.
“Your deep understanding of the complex dynamics of the energy sector and your commitment to sustainability are precisely what is needed to drive innovation, efficiency, and equity in the regulation of public utilities,” said Nafi Chinery, Board Chair of IES. “We have no doubt that your qualities will impact positively on your new role, where your leadership will be pivotal in ensuring the affordability, reliability, and sustainability of utility services for all Ghanaians.”
The IES also celebrated the appointment of Professor Nana Ama Klutse as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The IES said her appointment is a testament to her remarkable achievements as a renowned physicist, academic leader, and advocate for climate resilience and environmental sustainability. With her wealth of experience in climate science, environmental policy, and sustainable development, she is poised to bring transformative leadership to the EPA.
The IES has congratulated both Professor Klutse and Dr. Suleman on their appointments, expressing confidence that their leadership will have a positive impact on Ghana’s energy and environmental sectors.
