The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, will on Saturday, October 11, 2025, commission a series of completed rural electrification projects across 13 communities in the Central Gonja District of the Savanna Region.
The beneficiary communities include Zomlampe, Nikpegu, Torope, Dokope, Kpatinyan, Darivogupe, Bagpe, Dawunipe, Diwurupe, Larigbani, Mammudupe, Sankaupe and Nyinyape.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, the commissioning marks another milestone in the government’s efforts to expand access to reliable and affordable electricity, enhance rural livelihoods, and promote inclusive growth under the National Electrification Scheme.
The ceremony is expected to bring together traditional leaders, opinion leaders, officials of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO), representatives of the Central Gonja District Assembly, and residents of the beneficiary communities.
Speaking ahead of the event, Hon. Jinapor reaffirmed the government’s determination to ensure equitable access to energy for all citizens.
“Electricity is not just about lighting homes; it is about powering opportunity, driving enterprise, and transforming lives.”
“Through projects like this, we are delivering on our promise to make energy the bedrock of Ghana’s green and inclusive development,” he said.
The Ministry emphasized that the initiative forms part of its broader agenda to extend modern energy infrastructure to underserved areas, bridging the rural-urban divide while supporting Ghana’s transition to cleaner and sustainable energy sources.
