ACEP, Solar Taxi graduate 24 women in EV and renewable energy technologies

The graduates make up the inaugural cohort of the Green Energy Technology Capacity Development Programme (GET-CaDeP), an initiative by the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) in partnership with Solar Taxi to bridge the gender gap in the country's clean energy and sustainable mobility sectors.

Twenty-four young Ghanaian women have graduated from a pioneering clean energy programme designed to equip them with technical skills in electric vehicles (EVs), battery technology and renewable energy, marking a significant step towards increasing female participation in Ghana's growing green economy.

The programme combined classroom-based learning with practical industry experience, enabling participants to undertake internships with Solar Taxi and other industry partners while gaining hands-on skills in EV systems, battery technology and solar energy solutions.
