Turkish firm Synergy Co. Ltd., which specializes in designing solar and smart meters, has expressed its readiness to invest in Ghana by producing solar and smart meter technologies locally.
This commitment was made during a meeting between the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, and representatives of Synergy on Tuesday, March 11.
The engagement aligns with the ministry’s agenda to expand solar energy adoption in Ghana.
With 48 years of experience in the energy sector, Synergy plans to establish a manufacturing plant in Ghana to produce its products locally.
The company estimates it will be able to produce up to 12 million electrical meters annually, incorporating safeguards against tampering to minimize energy losses.
The introduction of these advanced meters is expected to enhance efficiency and transparency in Ghana’s energy sector, addressing key concerns in electricity distribution.
Synergy also proposed the establishment of a training school to equip Ghanaians with skills in solar panel and meter production, aiming to build local capacity in renewable energy manufacturing while creating employment opportunities.
Additionally, the company requested government support in off-taking its products and services to ensure successful integration into the Ghanaian market.
Minister Jinapor welcomed Synergy’s investment decision, particularly its commitment to local manufacturing and skills development.
He reaffirmed the government’s support for initiatives that align with Ghana’s green transition and energy sustainability goals, emphasizing that local content and job creation remain key priorities.
