Puma Energy will commence commercial and industrial solar installations on customers’ sites in 2023.
Puma Energy operates 75 retail sites and four terminals across Ghana.
In an official statement, Puma Energy will commence commercial and industrial solar installations on customers’ sites in 2023. This release was after Puma’s fourteen solar projects at its retail stations and terminals in Ghana proved to be a huge success. Puma will now invest USD 33 million to offer solar solutions to its commercial and industrial customers in Ghana and across Africa. In July 2022, Puma Energy’s ESG strategy set out plans to install solar generation at 200 sites across its global network by the end of 2022.
Puma Energy also announced that, by 2027, 30% of its income (EBITDA) in Africa would come from clean and transition fuels. The rollout of solar generation partnerships with Puma’s commercial and industrial customers will contribute to that aim.
Christophe Dantcikian, The Puma Energy GM in Ghana, said, “Africa and Ghana, in particular, have a great potential for solar power. So, having shown the concept works, we are now offering our commercial and industrial customers the chance to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Ghana was the first African country to benefit from our programme to add solar power to our sites. We are now excited to share the benefits of our solar expertise with our customers.”
Puma Energy operates 75 retail sites and four terminals across Ghana. It also supplies fuel at Kotoka Airport and employs over 150 people, with many more employed directly by local companies operating the Puma retail sites.
