The Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), through its Energy Service Centre has hosted the Sustainable Energy B2B Expo 2026 at the College of Physicians & Surgeons in Accra.
It was under the theme: “Powering Industry Through Sustainable Energy.”

Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, Mr Seth Mahu, Director of Renewable Energy and Green Transition, highlighted the urgent need for industries to adopt sustainable energy solutions to remain competitive in the global market.
He stressed that energy remained a major production cost for businesses and underscored government’s commitment to creating enabling policies that support renewable energy adoption, energy efficiency, e-mobility, and private sector participation in Ghana’s green transition agenda.
President of AGI, Mr Kofi Nsia-Poku noted that sustainable energy was no longer optional but central to Ghana’s industrial transformation and economic growth.
He explained that the AGI Energy Service Centre was established to support industries with technical guidance, energy efficiency solutions, and renewable energy integration.
