Ghana seeks stronger World Bank partnership to drive energy sector reforms

The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, has met with the World Bank to deepen cooperation aimed at reforming the country’s energy sector.

The meeting, held as part of ongoing policy engagements, underscores efforts to strengthen a long-standing partnership focused on improving sector performance and addressing structural challenges.

Discussions centred on expanding energy access, enhancing supply reliability, and promoting sustainability as demand continues to grow across the country.

The World Bank has played a key role in financing projects and supporting reforms within Ghana’s energy industry, positioning it as a critical development partner.

Hon. Jinapor described the talks as productive, highlighting a shared commitment to accelerate reforms and ensure long-term sector stability.

The partnership is expected to unlock further technical and financial support to drive ongoing transformation efforts.

Analysts view the renewed engagement as a signal of Ghana’s intent to build a more efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy system.
