Puma Energy installs solar power at Ghanaian stations

Through its business unit Future Energies, the global OMC has added solar power to stations and terminals in Ghana.

Puma Energy’s newly established Future Energies business launches 11 solar projects at its retail stations and a further three at Puma Energy’s terminals in Ghana. The solar power generation at 11 of the 14 sites is supported by battery storage.

The combined solar and battery power are part of Puma Energy’s Future Energies business wider business plan to roll renewable energy projects around the world.

These projects benefit from Ghana’s high solar energy potential and have a total capacity of 422kWp and associated battery storage of 224 kWh and can provide up to 100% of a sites’ energy.

“We are proud to install the solar systems in our sites and depots as it meets our purpose of energizing communities and reinforces our commitment to clean energy solutions and meeting our ESG goals. Africa, and Ghana in particular, has a great potential of solar power and we are establishing the first steps to transforming this potential into a more sustainable and energy efficient system to power our sites and depots,” Henry Osei, Puma Energy GM in Ghana.

Puma Energy’s Future Energies business unit focuses on developing lower carbon, modular, distributed renewable energy systems, including energy management and storage, particularly in emerging markets across the Americas, Africa and Asia-Pacific.
