The discussions at AOW 2026 ultimately centred on finding a sustainable balance between Africa’s immediate energy needs and its long-term transition towards cleaner sources, while ensuring that the continent’s energy policies contribute directly to economic growth and the reduction of energy poverty.
Representing President Mahama at the opening, Chief of Staff Julius Debrah said Africa’s energy strategy must be shaped by the continent’s unique development needs rather than simply replicate models used by wealthier economies.
Government officials also highlighted the importance of refinery operations, increased use of domestic natural gas and regional energy cooperation as part of Ghana’s broader strategy to strengthen energy security and drive economic development.
