Government unveils 850kWp Solar installation at Sintex tank facility

The Deputy Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Richard Gyan-Mensah, on Thursday, November 27, 2025, commissioned an 850kWp grid-tied solar power system at the Sintex Tank Factory in the Tema Industrial Park.

Speaking on behalf of the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, the Deputy Minister commended Sintex Industries for what he described as a “significant and forward-looking investment” in clean energy.

He noted that by integrating solar technology into its operations, Sintex is not only lowering its operational costs but also reducing carbon emissions and aligning with global sustainability standards.

Gyan-Mensah highlighted that the project directly supports the government’s renewable energy agenda, particularly the national objective to increase the share of modern renewables in Ghana’s energy mix from 5 percent to 10 percent by 2030.

He encouraged both large and small-scale industries to follow Sintex’s example by adopting solar and other renewable energy technologies in their production processes.

“This is an opportunity to transform our factories, offices, and homes into champions of clean energy. Together, we can build a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future for Ghana,” he said.

He added that the installation represents a significant milestone in private-sector participation in Ghana’s transition toward a greener and more resilient energy system.
