The Project Manager in charge of the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Ghana, Mr. Caleb Annan Sarpong, says Ghana is on the cusp of a transformative energy revolution driven by the country’s immense solar potential.
According to him, Ghana’s solar resources should be nurtured through strategic partnerships and indigenous innovations to strengthen the nation’s energy supply chain.
Mr. Sarpong, a seasoned energy expert, made this known in an exclusive interview with Energy News Africa on the sidelines of the 2025 West African Clean Energy and Environment Trade Fair and Conference (WACEE), which took place from November 11 to 12, 2025, in Accra.
He highlighted Ghana’s solar energy resource as not only feasible but essential for the country’s sustainable energy future.
Mr. Sarpong noted that “Ghana is charting a path forward by exploring innovative green finance mechanisms, such as green credit lines from banks, to help potential investors in the sector take advantage of emerging opportunities.”
He emphasised the critical need for stronger collaboration between government and the private sector to create an enabling environment for sustainable energy development.
Mr. Sarpong also reaffirmed Germany’s commitment as a dependable partner in transferring advanced sustainable energy knowledge and technology to help accelerate Ghana’s green ambitions.
In a related interview, Mr. Nicholas Kyei Osae, Project Manager of Hedge Energies Solutions, an exhibitor at the conference, explained that his company provides cutting-edge renewable energy solutions through engineering, procurement, and construction services.
He said Hedge Energies markets two key brands — Diners Batteries, tailored for residential users, and Stock 100, designed for commercial and industrial needs.
Mr. Osae also highlighted the company’s Goodwin inverter, a 100kW grid-connected solar inverter capable of reducing utility bills by up to 80 percent for industrial clients.
Similarly, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Subasol, Mr. Michele Valenderic, said his company delivers robust solar and battery storage projects across Ghana, Denmark, and Cameroon, helping customers reduce energy costs.
He added that Subasol’s services across West Africa are tailored to support the region’s transition to renewable energy.
The conference, themed “Greener Solutions, Stronger Economy,” provides a platform for exhibitors and stakeholders to showcase their products and discuss key topics such as renewable energy, the circular economy, waste management, and climate change.
More than 2,000 delegates from West Africa, Europe, Asia, the United States, and the Americas are participating, engaging industry leaders, exploring sustainable solutions, and pursuing business opportunities through exhibitions, conferences, and B2B matchmaking sessions.
