Alhaji Inusah Fuseini, Deputy Minister of energy, on Wednesday said the Government vision of securing energy supply reliability energy system for all sectors of the economy.
He said the vision included obtaining at least 10 percent of the contribution of services to the power generation mix modern renewable energy 2020.
Alhaji Fuseini distinction when he was addressing the opening session of Miss Sun Forum in West Africa, the exhibition is organized by United Kingdom-based IMPS and promotion Expo, in cooperation with the Association of Ghana industries and supported by solar energy and the Energy Ministry of Ghana.
Two-day Forum, on the theme of the exhibition is: “a way forward” lighter.
Be for architects, property developers, service companies, authorities, ministries, departments and agencies, investors, financial institutions, manufacturers, installers and distributors, contractors, non-governmental organizations to cooperate in the development of West Africa.
The Ministry of the Interior was Alhaji Fuseini said energy resource assessment to support wind potential sites more detailed development of parks along the beach for wind power generation.
Volta River Authority announced that it was setting up a solar Park for the first two megawatts into the national grid electricity by 2015, called on investors to come aboard to this sector.
In addition, the Ministry is collaborating with the World Bank under the Ghana energy development Access project to provide loans through banks, rural facility grant in rural communities outside of a remote network by using the solar systems.
Alhaji Fuseini said about 2,700 households in the governorates of 11 so far already provided with solar systems for the past two years.
“As an indication of the Government’s commitment to renewable energy; The Interior Ministry has upgraded the unit of renewable energy at a similar Division, oil power Directorates.
“This new Division, planning and formulation of policies and strategies to promote all forms of display of renewable energy resources in the country, to obtain the contribution of modern services and 10 percent for renewable energy power generation, 2020,” he said.
Alhaji Fuseini said a renewable energy passed by Parliament to provide the regulatory framework and the financial incentive to attract private sector investment in renewable energy.
He said the benefits of solar power solar products can be many, but they all followed the same basic business or high cost of investment model with long-term payback.
“Everything from large solar panels to solar pool pumps simply have a break-even where the device begin to pay for itself. This is probably the biggest advantage of solar energy products-consumer products is one of the few that actually pay for themselves if it was reliably enough, “said Alhaji Fuseini.
He said although there were many advantages of solar power, many scammers trying to take advantage of the ignorance of the public, and commended the organizers of the event for their foresight.

“We all have a responsibility to advocate promotion of solar energy and our policy makers to create a lighter future people’s mind,” said Dr. Darko.
He said solar technology promises but she came was with price, and innovations make it cheap and accessible for the nation.
Mr. Danny Kouakou, Anglophone West Africa, my electric Schneider, said the company’s social responsibility within the solar system to support rural people generate electricity.
He said he developed a solar solutions from more than 10 megawatts he hoped to introduce the solutions to Africa, to ensure that solar technology emerged on the continent.
Solar exhibition and Forum in West Africa is expected to have annual Conference of solar professionals, contribute to future industry growth areas.
