The Accelerated Solar Action Program (ASAP) has now entered its implementation phase following a vendors’ sensitization workshop in Accra on October 3, 2025.
Over the next 14 years (2025–2038), Ecobank Ghana is deploying $31 million in concessional financing at 15% interest for men and 14% for women to support 765 MSMEs (40% women-led), 19 irrigation cooperatives, and 1,617 households (40% female-headed) to adopt distributed solar energy. At the workshop, the Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Mrs. Eunice A.
Biritwum, commended this initiative, saying: “Beyond policy, we recognize the need to create awareness and strengthen capacity to deliver quality, safe, and affordable energy solutions to Ghanaians.”
Mr. Talep Pierre, ASAP Program Manager, added: “The success of this program depends on scaling partnerships, affordable financing, and supportive policies to deliver a greener, more resilient Ghana.”
ASAP, in partnership with Ecobank, UNDP, and the Green Climate Fund, is projected to reduce 417,000 tons of CO₂ emissions and add 30.6 MW to Ghana’s renewable capacity. Together, we are charting a sustainable energy future for Ghana.
This is more than financing, it’s Ghana’s solar revolution. Energy Commission: Securing Ghana’s Energy Future Tomorrow.
