Dr. John Jinapor, the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, recently highlighted the ongoing reforms in Ghana aimed at establishing the nation as a competitive hub for industrial production and regional trade.
During the Africa Energy Forum (AEF), he engaged in a Town Hall discussion with fellow ministers from across the continent, focusing on the theme “Regional Production Hubs to Drive Industrialisation.” Jinapor emphasised that these reforms are already producing positive outcomes.
“We have seen significant improvements in payments to utility service providers, which strengthen the financial sustainability of the energy sector and boost investor confidence,” he stated. He also noted that continued investments in generation, transmission, and renewable energy are enhancing reliability and laying the groundwork for extensive industrial growth.
In line with President Mahama’s Accra Reset Agenda, Dr. Jinapor explained that Ghana is intentionally transitioning from exporting raw materials to prioritizing value addition and local processing. “This strategic focus is not only creating opportunities for industrial growth and job creation but also fostering stronger participation in regional and global value chains,” he added.
