The Brew Hammond Energy Centre (TBHEC) has been contracted by the Energy Commission to develop regulations for electric vehicle charging in Ghana. The contract has been signed by the Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Prof. Mrs. Rita Akosua Dickson, and the Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission, Ing. Oscar Amonoo-Neizer. The TBHEC team which include Dr. G.K. Ayetor (Chair of the EV and Sustainable Transport Research Group at the Centre), Prof. Emmanuel A. Frimpong, Dr. Francis Boafo Effah, and Dr. Alfred O. Ahenkorah will provide expertise to the Commission to develop these vital regulations.
The Centre has been actively contributing to developing low-carbon transportation in Ghana and across the continent. It supports the Government of Sao Tome and Principe under a UNIDO contract (funded by the Green Climate Fund) to establish standards, regulations, and roadmaps for sustainable and low-emission transportation. Additionally, the Centre has collaborated with the Energy Commission on Ghana’s electric vehicles baseline report.
The Centre's commitment to advancing sustainable transport solutions continues to drive its efforts, and it looks forward to the positive impact this project will have on Ghana's transportation sector.
