On the International Day of Clean Energy, the Ghana Chamber of Clean Energy (GCCE) has reiterated its commitment to accelerating Ghana’s clean energy transition, stressing that the shift away from fossil fuels is now an urgent national priority.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Chamber said clean energy is no longer a distant goal but a present-day necessity. It noted that rapid deployment of clean energy across key sectors such as power, transport, industry, and agriculture is vital to reducing Ghana’s exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets, improving air quality, boosting industrial development, and creating sustainable jobs.
“The choices made today will shape the resilience and competitiveness of the economy for decades to come,” the GCCE statement said.
The Chamber acknowledged that Ghana has made significant progress in establishing policy frameworks to support the transition. However, it emphasized that the main challenge now lies in ensuring coordinated and effective implementation of these policies.
“With key policy frameworks now in place, the central task ahead is coordinated and effective implementation that aligns policy ambition with market realities, investment readiness, and institutional capacity to deliver at scale,” the statement added.
GCCE highlighted that the success of the clean energy transition will ultimately be measured by projects delivered on the ground, reduced costs, strengthened local enterprises, and improved services for communities.
In light of this, the Chamber called on the government to prioritize time-bound implementation of existing clean energy policies. It urged authorities to adopt measures that reduce investment uncertainty, lower entry and investment costs, and enable markets to scale.
“Clear implementation guidance, predictable regulatory treatment, and sustained engagement with industry will be essential to converting policy ambition into tangible outcomes,” the statement said.
The GCCE affirmed its readiness to support Ghana’s clean energy agenda through stronger collaboration between policy, markets, and investment, working with both public and private stakeholders to advance practical and scalable solutions that drive economic growth.
