Through this partnership with GCB Bank Plc, SUNREF Ghana will continue to offer competitive loans and technical assistance for structuring green investments to companies, organizations, individuals and households.

 

The objective of the SUNREF Programme is to mobilize Ghanaian financial institutions such as GCB Bank Plc and Calbank, to finance private sector investments in green technologies, especially in the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency segments in Ghana with up to 10% grant on the loan after project completion and verification. The Energy Commission is hosting the SUNREF Programme in Ghana.
