A delegation from Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Power visited the Energy Commission of Ghana for a three-day study tour on Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for electrical equipment. The delegation, made up of technical officials, sought to learn from Ghana’s experience with MEPS and Energy Labelling programmes.
Welcoming the delegation, the Ag. Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Adwoa Serwa Bondzie, said the Commission was honoured to share its experience, built over years of work on product testing, certification, market surveillance and consumer awareness.
She described the visit as reflecting the strong ties between the two nations and their shared commitment to energy efficiency within the ECOWAS region.
Discussions covered Ghana’s policy and institutional framework, testing and certification procedures, energy labelling, market surveillance, and border enforcement mechanisms.
The engagements also explored stakeholder awareness strategies and lessons from Ghana’s journey, offering an opportunity for peer review of Nigeria’s own MEPS implementation under its National Energy Transition Plan.
