Under the theme Building Regional Resilience, the second annual West Africa Energy Cooperation Summit (WAECS) will bring together the 16 countries of West Africa and its neighbours in productive discussions on how the region and the public and private sector can work in collaboration to unleash its energy potential.
“Hosting WAECS reflects Ghana’s enduring commitment to regional energy cooperation, sustainable development and just energy transition, The Summit provides a strategic platform to mobilise investment and deepen collaboration across West Africa in line with the ECOWAS Integration agenda and Ghana’s own vision of becoming a regional hub.
WAECS offers an exceptional opportunity for both local and international stakeholders to explore emerging energy investment prospects in renewables, gas to power, regional interconnectivity and digitalisation while facilitating new partnerships and strengthening existing alliances. Bringing together such a diverse and influential energy community under one roof will help galvanise action towards concrete transformational outcomes for the sector.
We are also pleased that the YES! On The Road Ghana scheduled for 4 December 2025 will be hosted alongside WAECS. This emphasis is in line with Ghana’s emphasis on youth empowerment and skills empowerment under it energy transition framework. It will empower and inspire the next generation of African energy leaders by connecting young talents with seasoned, mentors, innovators and investors.”
H.E. Honourable John Abdulai Jinapor, Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Ghana
YES! On The Road Ghana
From the 4 December, under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy, YES! is coming to Ghana for a full day of interactive, impactful and dynamic content. 500 youth will get the chance to build their practical skills, talk to CEOs and decision-makers, and engage in exclusive National Service Scheme presentations from leading public and private companies.
Why Ghana, Why Now?
Ghana is on the cusp of significant economic transformation. With the government actively promoting industrial growth, national self-sufficiency, and long-term development priorities, Ghanaian youth are uniquely positioned to drive and benefit from this shift.
