Members of the GEA Awards Secretariat have paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, at the ministry’s office in Accra.
The delegation included members of the awarding panel led by Kwame Jantuah, chairman of the awards and renowned energy consultant.
He was joined by Dr. Kwame Ampofo, former Board Chairman-Energy Commission; Dr. Jemima Nunoo, former Technical Director for Media and Strategic Communications at the Office of former President Akufo-Addo; and Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, renowned evangelist and economist.
The awards secretariat, led by Henry Teinor-Event Director, also included Eugene Amoako, Kwame Atiase, Emmanuel Abossey and Stephanie Tetteh.
The meeting served as a platform to deepen strategic collaboration. This partnership marks a nine-year relationship focused on promoting excellence and innovation in the energy sector.
Key discussions explored how the awards can help illuminate gaps, encourage sector-wide dialogue and promote investments, particularly at a time when Ghana’s energy landscape is expanding to include green transition efforts.
Speaking during the meeting, Mr. Jantuah highlighted the GEA’s vital role in supporting a robust and resilient energy sector:
“The energy sector needs independent institutions like Ghana Energy Awards to assess the performance of players and help keep the sector on track. Our initiative is bolstered by the ministry’s support, the World Energy Council Ghana, carefully selected themes and a rigorous, transparent awarding process validated by Forvis Mazars and Casely Brooke Law Firm.
“Our goal is to ensure sector institutions align with global benchmarks, a standard we proudly uphold,” he said.
The minister welcomed the team’s proactive engagement and reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to transparency, accountability and constructive collaboration.
The Event Director, Mr. Teinor, for his part expressed gratitude to the ministry for its continued support.
“We value this partnership deeply. It extends beyond the awards night and is reflected in our continuous engagement and consultative approach throughout the year,” Mr. Teinor added.
The 9th Ghana Energy Awards is set to launch soon, continuing its legacy of spotlighting excellence and encouraging innovation.
