The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Jinapor, says ongoing reforms in Ghana’s energy sector are strengthening investor confidence and positioning the country as a competitive hub for industrial production and regional trade.
Speaking at a Town Hall discussion during the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) on the theme “Regional Production Hubs to Drive Industrialisation,” he explained that government interventions are already yielding positive results.
He noted that improvements in payments to utility service providers have enhanced the financial stability of the energy sector, thereby boosting investor trust.
Dr. Jinapor also highlighted continued investments in power generation, transmission, and renewable energy, saying these efforts are improving reliability and laying a solid foundation for industrial expansion.
He further indicated that, under President Mahama’s Accra Reset Agenda, Ghana is deliberately shifting from exporting raw materials to promoting value addition and local processing.
According to him, this strategy is expected to drive industrial growth, create jobs, and deepen Ghana’s participation in regional and global value chains.
