Ghana’s Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with the World Bank to drive ongoing reforms and enhance efficiency within the country’s energy sector.
Mr. Jinapor made this known when he received a delegation from the World Bank, led by Dr. Robert Taliercio O’Brien, Country Director for Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, during a courtesy call on Monday.
The discussions, he noted, focused on key areas of partnership, ongoing reforms, and strategies to sustain and build on the progress achieved so far in the sector.
According to the Minister, his top priorities remain centred on three critical objectives— reducing system losses, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring affordable and reliable power for all Ghanaians.
“I emphasized that our focus is on strengthening the fundamentals of the energy sector to deliver sustainable, affordable, and reliable electricity to every Ghanaian,” Mr. Jinapor stated in a post on his Facebook wall.
He further noted that the Ministry is pursuing strategic efforts to secure additional generation capacity at lower costs, stressing that the government’s overarching objective is to obtain the most cost-effective new power sources to strengthen the sector and deliver long-term benefits to the nation.
The World Bank team, for its part, reaffirmed the institution’s role as a strategic partner to Ghana and expressed continued commitment to9 supporting the Ministry in achieving its objectives.
