Ghana is among Africa’s top oil producers, with proven oil reserves of about 1.1 billion barrels and gas reserves of 2.1 trillion cubic feet. The Minister said Ghana aims to achieve 10% renewable energy by 2030 and can reach that goal with support from countries like India through bilateral commodity exchange agreements.
Speaking to media on the sidelines of the 8th Assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) in New Delhi, Jinapor highlighted that with 60% of the world’s solar potential, Africa is strengthening its collaboration with India to benefit from clean energy and inclusive growth.
He added that Indian companies established in Ghana are already manufacturing transformers and meters, creating jobs and adding value locally.
A deeper strategic partnership with India, he noted, will enhance cost efficiency and accelerate Ghana’s green energy transition.
