German Company, Bosch has shown interest in establishing a refrigeration assembling plant in Ghana as the total ban of second-hand fridges comes into force from January next year.Investors representing the company are already in discussions with the Energy Commission and other stakeholders over the plan.Head of Energy Efficiency and Climate Change at the Energy Commission, Kofi Agyarko who disclosed this to JOY BUSINESS is optimistic of a positive outcome.
“Investors are ready but they want to see how effectively we can implement the ban because the fluorescent used-refrigerator market has always been a scaring factor to them. We are working together with those who deal in the used refrigerators to swicth to the importation of new refrigerators” he said.Ghana is signatory to the Montreal protocol against the use of CFC refrigerators and the Energy Commission is working closely with the Environmental Protection Agency to implement the policy.
He also disclosed Bosch’s plans to first offer products for sale and gradually expand its presence in the country.“Just last week we met with them and they have submitted a series of proposals which we are considering.
