The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) has successfully inaugurated solar power systems at three hospitals in Ghana, marking a significant advancement in healthcare infrastructure. The projects include a 61KWp system at Finney Hospital, a 21KWp system at Barnor Memorial Hospital, and a 30KWp system at Mother-Love Hospital.
Implemented in collaboration with local solar energy company Tradeworks Limited, and with technical support and co-funding from the ECOWAS Special Intervention Fund (ESIF), these solar installations are designed to provide uninterrupted power supply to the hospitals. This initiative is expected to enhance healthcare services by mitigating the impact of power outages.
