Accra, Ghana – The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has taken a major step towards a greener future by commissioning a 128 kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar power system at its Eastern Regional Office. This initiative, backed by the German government, is a testament to the country’s growing commitment to sustainable energy.
The solar power system, consisting of a 35kWp rooftop installation and a 93kWp carport, will significantly reduce the commission’s reliance on traditional energy sources. This move is expected to lower operational costs and minimize the organization’s carbon footprint.
The project, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), is part of a broader effort to promote energy efficiency and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy solutions within state institutions.
