The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) on Monday inaugurated a 128 kilowatt power (kWp) solar photovoltaic installation at its Eastern Regional office in Koforidua in order to promote energy efficiency and improve the operational effectiveness of the commission.
The project was made possible with the joint collaboration of the Ministry of Energy, the Energy Commission, and the German International Cooperation (GIZ).
The Executive Secretary of PURC, Dr Ishmael Ackah, emphasised that the solar installation would help supplement energy from the national grid.
He underscored the importance of diversifying energy sources to ensure reliable power during times of crisis.
