The Energy Commission (EC) presented the Electric Vehicle Charging Station and Battery Swap Systems Regulations, 2026 before Parliament in Ghana. Executive Secretary Ms. Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie announced that the regulations will finalize the constitutional process in October, providing a comprehensive framework for safety standards, licensing, and registration for electric mobility expansion.
The EC aims to ensure a sound foundation for innovation without hindering it. To monitor and manage the growing deployment of EV charging stations, the EC is developing a national charging system management platform with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition. This platform will offer visibility into the charging infrastructure's geographical coverage, energy consumption, faults, outages, and network impact.
The new Electrical Wiring Code, collaboratively developed with the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), will cater to solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, battery storage, and EV charging infrastructure integration. Bondzie emphasized the importance of continuous learning, professional integrity, and safety as the energy sector evolves, urging newly certified electricians to commit to these values.
