Energy Commission Bids Farewell to National Service Personnel

The Energy Commission has given a warm send-off to its National Service Personnel as they officially wrapped up their service year. The ceremony celebrated the personnel's contributions to the Commission's work during the year and gave everyone a chance to reflect on the experiences and memories they shared.

At the heart of the event was an interactive session with the Ag. Executive Secretary of the Commission, Ms Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie. She drew on her own career, which she said was built on hard work, perseverance and steady professional growth, and urged the young professionals to stay dedicated, positive and humble. "The opportunities you take seriously today will shape the professional you become tomorrow," she said. "Stay focused. Stay humble. And never stop learning."

Commission’s staff also shared their experiences and encouraged the personnel as they move on to new opportunities and challenges. After the reflections, the event turned into a celebration, with colleagues sharing food, drinks and laughter. As a token of appreciation, each person received a reward, and those who stood out for their hard work and dedication received special recognition.

Energy Commission Certifies 345 Electrical Wiring Professionals

The Energy Commission has certified 345 electrical wiring professionals in Accra at its 25th Electrical Wiring Certification and Award Ceremony. The event, held under the theme “Setting the Standard: Powering Ghana’s Future – EV, Solar, and Beyond,” highlighted the Commission’s push to raise safety and professional standards in Ghana’s electrical wiring sector. A major highlight was the launch of the revised Electrical Wiring Code, developed with the Ghana Standards Authority. The Code gives professionals updated standards and practical guidance for working safely and keeping pace with new technologies.

The Chairman for the occasion, Prof. Ernest Ofori Asamoah, urged the newly certified professionals to lead by example and said he rewires his own home to set a standard for others. He also encouraged electricians to keep learning, unlearning and adapting as technology changes. The Ag. Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Ms Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie, said more than 27,500 digital verification tokens have been generated since the system went live in July 2026, improving traceability and consumer protection. She also called for more women to join the profession, noting that their numbers remain below expectations.

The ceremony also marked the Commission’s wider progress in professional certification. Since the programme began, 19,442 professionals have been certified, and the Commission has moved from paper-based certificates to digital authentication and verification. As Ghana expands electric mobility, solar energy and modern power systems, the Commission continues to stress the need for a skilled, certified and adaptable workforce.

Energy Commission Leads Stakeholder Validation of the Integrated Power System Master Plan

Key players in Ghana's power sector gathered to validate the 2026 Integrated Power System Master Plan (IPSMP). The meeting, led by the Energy Commission's Acting Executive Secretary, Ms. Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie, brought together representatives from the Volta River Authority (VRA), Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), Nuclear Power Ghana, Bui Power Authority, and the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition. Ms. Bondzie underscored the importance of coordinated evidence-based planning in securing the country's electricity future.

Stakeholders reviewed issues raised in the plan, drawing on data, technical analysis, and practical experience, while the IPSMP Technical Group responded to comments and provided further technical input. Discussions centred on Ghana's future electricity needs, the generation capacity to hold in reserve, and the potential for power exports, as well as the role of solar PV, small-scale hydro, gas, and LNG in the country's future generation mix.

Beyond forecasting demand, the IPSMP provides an integrated view of Ghana's generation, transmission, distribution, and energy-resource needs, helping institutions align plans and investment decisions. The validation meeting marked a step toward a more coordinated and resilient power system, guided by data and collaboration, with one goal: keeping the power on.
