The Energy Commission has engaged stakeholders in Ghana’s transport and logistics industry on energy conservation and the development of infrastructure to support electric vehicles.
The engagement took place at the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Ghana’s 2026 Logistics and Transport Conference and Annual General Meeting, where the Commission discussed its regulatory role in the growing EV charging sector.
Officials noted that regulations to govern EV charging infrastructure are currently before Parliament for consideration. The Commission also shared measures that transport and logistics operators can adopt to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption in their operations.
The discussions further examined key technical considerations for EV charging infrastructure, including applicable standards, the readiness of the electricity grid and the location of charging stations along major transport routes.
Fleet operators, logistics professionals and transport planners raised concerns about the cost of switching to electric vehicles, the rollout of charging facilities and the steps businesses should take to prepare for expected regulatory changes.
Commission officials addressed questions relating to both the policy framework and technical requirements, with participants welcoming the engagement and describing the discussions as relevant to the changing needs of the sector.
The session highlighted the increasingly important role of the transport and logistics industry in Ghana’s energy transition and forms part of the Energy Commission’s wider engagement with professional groups as the country develops policies and regulations for its evolving energy sector.
