The Energy Commission of Ghana has officially launched West Africa’s first nearly-zero-energy building (NZEB) at its head office in Accra! This beautifully designed, sustainable facility showcases Ghana's commitment to renewable energy and climate action.

Constructed over eight months and funded by the German Government for €1 million, the building is a game-changer for the region. It self-generates 88% of its energy needs using solar power and plans to export surplus energy to the national grid once net metering is fully in place.

On November 25, 2024, Ghana reached a major milestone with the launch of the Energy Academy and Energy Forum Series at the iconic Nearly Zero-Energy Building on the premises of the Energy Commission in Accra. Under the theme “Three Decades of Energy Sector Reforms in Ghana: Reflecting on Performance and Shaping a Sustainable Future,” the event celebrated the nation's progress in energy innovation and reforms over 30 years.

The Board Chairman of the Energy Commission, Professor Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, joined by Board Members and experts in the sector reflected on three decades of energy reforms in Ghana, emphasizing the pivotal role the Academy will play in sustaining Ghana’s leadership in the energy space. Deputy Minister of Energy, Hon. John Abbam Aboah Sanie, officially launched the Academy, describing it as “a hub of knowledge, experience and innovation” dedicated to empowering energy professionals across Africa.
