Puma Energy believes the installations will help reduce its own carbon footprint and provide cleaner options for customers in the West African nation. According to Puma Energy GM in Ghana, Henry Osei, the company is proud to install solar systems in their sites and depots. It meets our purpose of energizing communities and reinforces Puma’s commitment to clean energy solutions and meeting the ESG goals. “Africa, and Ghana, in particular, has a great potential for solar power, and we are establishing the first steps to transforming this potential into a more sustainable and energy-efficient system to power our sites and depots. Ghana is pleased to be the first country to show the first footprints of our energy transition drive in Africa,” he added.
Mitchell Board, Global Head, Future Energies, stated, “By combining our expertise and local knowledge with the right sites and access to finance, we hope to accelerate the renewable energy transition in Ghana not just for Puma but for our customers too.”
Puma Energy’s Future Energies business unit focuses on developing lower-carbon, modular, distributed renewable energy systems across emerging markets (particularly those where RE acceleration has been slow)in the Americas, Africa and Asia-Pacific. Future Energies is also scaling its deployment of solar hybrid systems to countries with high solar energy potential, including Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Honduras and Papa New Guinea.
