The Minister of State at the Ministry of Energy, Herbert Krapa, has commissioned Africa''s single-largest rooftop photovoltaic solar plant that produces 16.8 megawatts of electricity at the Tema Free Zones Enclave.
Mr Krapa who was spotted wearing protective gear, climbed the three-storey-high rooftop to inspect the panels and also turned on the switch for the $17 million which covers the project to commence the provision of electricity.
He commended the owners of Helios Solar Energy, a subsidiary of LMI Holdings putting the project together and helping the government achieve its overall target of increasing renewable energy in the provision of electricity.
It was financed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group and covers an area of 100,000 square metres. The construction, connection and installation of the entire project were executed by Ghanaian engineers and technicians.
Owned by it is owned by Helios Solar Energy, a subsidiary of LMI Holdings, the panels are mounted on the roof of Mega Warehouse The construction, connection and installation of the entire project were executed by Ghanaian engineers and technicians.
Mr Krapa gave the assurance that the government would continue to provide the enabling environment and policies for more private sector provision of renewable energy.
It was significant because it underscored the power of the private sector to contribute to the government’s agenda in bringing growth, prosperity and development to the people and that apart from enhancing the electricity supply, it would lead to the reduction of C02 emissions.
Mr Krapa said the project signifies a clear indication that there were more private sector players across the globe who are interested in helping the government to meet its target.
These players, he added, would take a cue from the private sector and reach out and partner government to ensure that together we are able to achieve that vision.
Mr Krapa indicated that the project was also very important for the socio-economic impact that it has on the economy, noting that "By this project, you are creating greener and sustainable jobs for our people and helping us to meet our nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement."
He indicated that the project was also helping to introduce skills and technology to the young engineers whom they have trained as part of the development and maintenance and that its rippling effect on the development of the solar energy industry in Ghana was enormous.
He added that it would also contribute significantly to helping improve the standard of living of the people and that the "government is also very equally proud of you for that contribution."
Regarding its impact on industry, Mr Krapa said, it would contribute to reduced cost of power in industry and position the manufacturing sector in a very competitive stead, adding that over time solar energy leads to reduced cost in the mix.
"You are helping to power industry and you are helping industry to also meet their green credentials," he said.Vision
Mr Krapa said the project feeds into the government’s overall vision for the power sector and more specifically the renewable energy vision.
"Government is alive to its ethical responsibility that we have to help protect the planet, we have come up with a national energy transition framework which we did consult across all 16 regions and have concluded that by 2060 we should have walked a net zero pathway," he added.
He said a significant number of projects are required to be executed for this implementation plan to see the light of day.

South Africa Commissions Largest Wheeling Project to Date: Expected to Supply More than 250 MW of Solar Power
The inauguration of Africa''s largest rooftop solar plant shows promise for revolutionizing Ghana''s renewable energy sector. The Minister of Energy noted that the project is essential as it would be necessary for its socio-economic impact. Furthermore, it would facilitate the creation of greener, sustainable jobs for the people. More importantly, it would help the country to meet its nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement. He said that LMI Holdings was also helping to introduce skills and technology to the young engineers whom they had trained as part of the development and maintenance of the project.
He indicated this would improve the standard of living of the people. "What you have done will help contribute to power distribution here (Free Zone Enclave). It is laudable because solar energy, over time, has reduced costs in the mix. You are helping the power industry, and you are helping the industry also to meet its green credentials. "Very dear to my heart is how this project feeds into the government''s overall vision for the power sector and, more specifically, our renewable energy vision," Mr Krapa added. The completion of Africa’s largest solar plant is one that the nation anticipates to see what it will bring forth.
