The 10th edition of the Ghana Energy Awards was inaugurated in Accra, with the opening of nominations for those who have made significant contributions to the nation's energy sector. This marks a decade of the awards, which have since 2017 celebrated excellence, innovation, and leadership within Ghana's energy value chain. The theme for this anniversary edition is "A Decade of Redefining Excellence," encompassing crucial areas such as power, petroleum, renewable energy, leadership, and industry performance.
The main awards ceremony is set for November at the Labadi Beach Hotel, while nominations opened on September 30 and will close on October 30. Shortlisted nominees will be announced in November. Ing. Henry Teinor, the Event Director of the Ghana Energy Awards, emphasized the importance of merit-based recognition and the commitment to credibility and integrity in the assessment process.
He revealed that the organiser's assessment process has been enhanced through collaboration with industry experts, technical professionals, independent validators, and institutions, including the World Energy Council, Ghana, Forvis Mazars, and the Casely Brooke Law Firm.
The 2026 edition will feature both competitive and non-competitive awards, recognizing individuals and institutions for their contributions to the energy sector. Ing. Teinor announced the introduction of an integrated awards management system to streamline the application, validation, scoring, and documentation processes, aiming to make the awards process more transparent, open, and efficient.
The secretariat and technical team will conduct virtual and physical site visits to verify the information submitted by nominees after the nominations close.
The Energy Personality Outreach Programme, launched last year, has already engaged more than 15,000 students through various activities encouraging STEM education and careers in the energy sector. This 10th anniversary edition of the scheme also highlights the progress made in preparing Ghana's energy sector for the next decade.
The Ambassador to Hungary, Dr Kwame Ampofo, highlighted the country's energy challenges and the importance of proper planning and diversification, advocating for a balanced energy mix that includes solar, nuclear, and thermal power sources.
