Napo engages NUGS on energy transition

Minister for Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, last week led a team from his ministry to engage the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) at the University of Ghana for their input into the development of a National Energy Transition Plan.

The Minister, in his remarks, “noted that global advocacy for energy transition and decarbonisation has left many countries especially hydrocarbon dependent countries in limbo”

He said the situation also affects Ghana and that the country therefore need to strategically plan to overcome the challenges imposed by the energy transition agenda and to move with the rest of the world towards cleaner energy.

On their contribution towards the shaping of the National Energy Transition Plan, Dr. Opoku Prempeh urged NUGS to be proactive in expressing their views and providing suggestions, as the information gathered will ultimately feed into the Plan.

The Ministry of Energy, through the National Energy Transition Committee, continues to engage all stakeholders with a view to developing a broad-based National Energy Transition Plan that captures the broad sentiments and aspirations of Ghanaians on energy transition.
