I had the honour of delivering the welcome and opening address at the International Energy Agency (IEA) Africa Energy Efficiency Policy Training Week, hosted here in Accra.

On behalf of the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and the Government of Ghana, I warmly welcomed participants from across Africa and beyond.

I took the opportunity to highlight Ghana’s progress in energy efficiency from our appliance standards and clean cooking initiatives to our broader Energy Transition Strategy, which places efficiency at the heart of our efforts toward a cleaner, more resilient future.

We’ve seen real impact:
*400 GWh saved through efficient refrigeration;
*124 MW peak load reduction from efficient lighting;
*47.9% of households now using LPG;
*1.6 million tonnes of firewood saved annually through improved cookstoves.

These milestones show that targeted energy efficiency policies can deliver lasting economic, environmental and social benefits.

I’m grateful to the IEA, AfDB, and our development partners for their continued collaboration.

Together, we are strengthening the capacity of Africa to build sustainable energy systems that work for our people and our planet.
