The Ghana Energy Awards Secretariat is pleased to announce the release of the shortlisted nominees for the 8th Ghana Energy Awards. This year's competition has seen an impressive surge of interest with over 170 submissions received between the 27th of June and the 30th of August, 2024.

The nominations span across 25 competitive categories, showcasing the diverse contributions of individuals, companies, and institutions dedicated to advancing Ghana's energy sector.

The process leading to the shortlisting has been rigorous, reflecting the high standards that the Ghana Energy Awards upholds. The Awards Secretariat, together with the distinguished Awarding Panel, undertook significant measures to ensure transparency and accuracy.

These included courtesy calls to sector stakeholders to gather critical feedback, as well as site visitations to assess the numerous innovative projects nominated. This hands-on approach highlights the thoroughness and dedication invested in recognising the exceptional achievements in Ghana's energy development journey.

The theme for this year’s event, "The Role of Local Content in Building Ghana’s Energy Sector", emphasises the critical role that local expertise, businesses, and investments play in the development of the energy landscape.

As Ghana strives to solidify its position as a regional energy hub, this theme draws attention to the importance of nurturing homegrown talent and resources to drive sustainable growth. It is a call to action for stakeholders to champion local content policies that will not only enhance the sector, but also secure its future.

All roads now lead to the grand awards ceremony on Friday, 25th October 2024 at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra. This landmark event promises to bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and key stakeholders in the energy sector, as they converge to celebrate excellence, innovation, and leadership within Ghana’s energy landscape.

The Ghana Energy Awards, organised by the Energy Media Group, seeks to recognise the contributions of industry players to Ghana’s energy development through healthy competition. The Awards is fully endorsed by the Ministry of Energy and its allied agencies, and the World Energy Council Ghana, with validation from Forvis Mazars.
