Preparations for the highly anticipated 9th edition of the prestigious Ghana Energy Awards are well underway, as the Awards Secretariat and the Awarding Panel have officially commenced deliberations towards the upcoming event.
This key event on the annual calendar of the Ghana Energy Awards took place on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at the Awards Secretariat Head Office, located in the SSNIT Emporium at Airport City.
Members of the Awarding Panel, comprising distinguished leaders from academia, policy, law, and industry, were convened for a session that is expected to play a pivotal role in this year’s awards.
The Awarding Panel is chaired by Lawyer Kwame Jantuah, a seasoned legal practitioner and governance advocate.
Other members include: Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, a renowned economist and international evangelist; Dr. Kwame Ampofo, former Board Chairman of the Energy Commission; Dr. Jemima Nunoo, former Director at the Centre for Management Development, GIMPA; and Professor Felix Asante, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research, Innovation & Development), University of Ghana.
This year’s edition holds particular significance, as it marks the first Awards following a transition in national leadership. In response, extensive stakeholder engagements were conducted ahead of the Awarding Panel’s first sitting to capture the evolving landscape of governance, shifting development priorities, and the current state of sector performance.
Ing. Henry Teinor, Event Director of the Awards, emphasized the importance of these preliminary engagements:
“Stakeholder feedback has been instrumental in aligning the Ghana Energy Awards with the operational realities of the sector. Over the past four months, we have conducted a series of engagements with key players across the energy value chain. These conversations gave deeper insights into emerging challenges across the sector. We view this 9th edition as a crucial moment, and the expectations set are rightfully high.”
The Awarding Panel’s first sitting, marked by in-depth discussions, served as a strategic touchpoint to review stakeholder feedback and to evaluate and define the planned activities for 2025.
Speaking on the purpose of this initial sitting, Lawyer Kwame Jantuah, Chairman of the Awarding Panel, stated:
“This first Panel meeting is crucial. It gives us the opportunity to analyze sectoral shifts and ensure that our award categories remain relevant and responsive to current needs. Our aim is to set the right benchmarks for recognition.”
As the Ghana Energy Awards approaches its ninth edition, anticipation is steadily building. The Media Launch of the 9th Ghana Energy Awards is set to take place soon, where the official theme and award categories will be unveiled, along with the formal opening of the nominations window.
The Ghana Energy Awards is fully endorsed by the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, its allied agencies, and the World Energy Council, Ghana.
