At a national consultation on Ghana’s 2027‑2032 Country Partnership Framework (CPF) with the World Bank Group, Energy and Green Transition Minister Dr John Jinapor highlighted a suite of reforms aimed at stabilising the country’s energy sector and ensuring a reliable electricity supply to underpin economic activity.
The meeting drew senior officials, including the Ministers for Finance, Trade and Industry, and Roads and Highways, to discuss development priorities and shape Ghana’s next phase of engagement with the World Bank Group. Dr Jinapor said the reforms would address long‑standing challenges in power distribution, transmission and financial management, and would introduce Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to manage peak demand.
He praised the World Bank Group’s recognition of progress in restoring economic stability under President John Dramani Mahama and stressed the importance of aligning World Bank support with Ghana’s economic priorities. The CPF is expected to serve as the framework for mobilising financing and technical resources to accelerate transformation.
Dr Jinapor noted that the government’s prudent management of the cash waterfall mechanism and reforms within the electricity distribution sector had improved financial and operational performance. He also highlighted investments in modernising the national grid to strengthen resilience.
With energy reliability closely tied to industrial growth and investment, the reforms could become a key test of Ghana’s ability to translate economic stabilisation into sustained improvements in the productive sectors of the economy.
The CPF 2027‑2032 will therefore provide a roadmap for Ghana’s next phase of collaboration with the World Bank Group, with energy, infrastructure and economic transformation remaining central to the country’s development agenda.
