The Deputy Minister-Designate for Energy, Collins Adomako-Mensah, is optimistic that renewable energy is the game changer that could address the country’s long-standing issue of electricity access in rural areas.
Speaking at his vetting on Monday, Mr Adomako-Mensah, said the time was ripe for the nation to rely on renewable energy.
He indicated that it would complement the hydro energy, thus, enabling power generators and distributors to expand their reach to communities that have not been connected to the national grid.
According to him, renewable energy, including solar, offers a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based electricity generation.
The Minister-designate further noted that he will suggest to his minister to involve the private power producer to also come on board in the renewable energy agenda.
