Accra, 15 October, 2025 / 3:06 pm (ACI Africa).
Members of the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) have entered into a partnership with Huawei Technologies to boost the Church’s nationwide solar energy initiative, aimed at providing clean power to more than 4,000 Catholic institutions across the country.
Signed on October 14 in Accra, the agreement reportedly builds upon a previous partnership formed in July 2025 with Letshego Ghana Savings and Loans, which committed GHS 200 million (USD 16 million) in financing to support the Bishops’ Green Energy Initiative.
In a Tuesday, October 14 report, Bishop Gabriel Edoe Kumordji described the new agreement as a “milestone in our collective commitment to sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and responsible leadership.”
“Through this partnership, we are embarking on a transformative solar initiative that will power over 4,000 Catholic institutions across Ghana. These include schools, hospitals, parishes, seminaries, and social centres that serve our communities every single day,” Bishop Kumordji said.
The Local Ordinary of Ghana’s Keta Akatsi Diocese said that the partnership is the Bishops’ bold step forward to affirming their shared mission to promote renewable energy, address the pressing challenges of climate change, and safeguard the planet for future generations.
