AOW:Energy and the CEO of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Mr. Kwame Ntow Amoah unite to drive both Ghanaian and Regional prosperity

AOW: Investing in African Energy 2025 is set to be a game-changer for Ghana and the wider West African energy sector. It was a privilege to meet with the new CEO of the GNPC – GHANA, Mr. Kwame Ntow Amoah, to discuss the immense opportunities ahead. Together, we agreed on critical steps that will ensure AOW:Energy 2025 moves the needle on Ghana’s economic and energy development, solidifying its role as a transformative platform for investment, policy dialogue, and growth.

As Ghana enters 2025 with a renewed vision under the leadership of the NDC administration, the nation is poised for a significant economic upturn. From all indications, the government, led by His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, has made it clear that natural resources will play a central role in driving Ghana’s economic resurgence. At the heart of this vision is the creation of a 24-hour economy, one that demands a robust and sustainable energy sector to fuel industries, power businesses, and create jobs. AOW:Energy is fully committed to realizing this ambition by facilitating deal flow and capital inflow into Ghana, ensuring that the energy sector serves as the foundation for long-term national and regional prosperity.

Kwame Ntow Amoah , CEO of GNPC, stated: “We are delighted to host AOW:Energy in Ghana this September 2025. This summit arrives at a pivotal moment for our nation and the region, as we drive forward a new era of energy-driven economic growth. The private sector has shown immense commitment to attending, and we at GNPC are personally excited to welcome National Oil Companies from across the continent to Accra. AOW:Energy provides colleague APPO CEOs an opportunity to shape the future of the African upstream, deepen collaboration, and unlock the full potential of our natural resources for the benefit of our people. Ghana is ready, and we look forward to leading the conversation that will drive investment, innovation, and long-term prosperity.”

The commitment of AOW:Energy and GNPC is not just about one country; it is about building a regional energy ecosystem that benefits West Africa and the region as a whole. Our collaboration will provide a unique platform to foster transformative dialogue, forge strategic partnerships, and drive meaningful investment that will uplift economies and create a wave of development across the continent.

AOW:Energy and GNPC share a common vision, a common goal, and a common drive to ensure domestic and regional prosperity through oil and gas. This alignment could not come at a better time. In 2025, GNPC celebrates its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of commitment to Ghana’s energy landscape. At the same time, the Jubilee Field celebrates its 15th year of production, a testament to Ghana’s remarkable progress in upstream development. These milestones remind us of the successes we have achieved together, as a nation, a business, and a continent.

Now, it is time to build the next wave of success. Our partnership will signify a period and collaboration that will be a catalyst for inclusive growth, strategic investment, and groundbreaking partnerships. Together, with GNPC and the leadership of Ghana, we will set the roadmap for an energy sector that delivers long-term prosperity for the people of Ghana and beyond. The next chapter of growth starts now with AOW:Energy in Ghana, together, we will ensure that Africa’s energy future is stronger than ever.

Looking ahead, AOW:Energy is committed to showcasing critical opportunities such as the Keta Basin and Voltaian Basin, areas that promise exciting new energy opportunities for Ghana. As part of our continued commitment to Ghana’s development, we will also promote new insights, new policies, and exciting announcements at AOW:Energy 2025, positioning Ghana as a true leader in the region. These developments will strengthen Ghana’s position and further solidify its place in the continental energy landscape. We will ensure the hummingbird effect will drive growth and success via AOW:Energy as its catalyst for prosperity, together we will build the Africa we all want and we will achieve this as a community, as partners and with strong values that will see the sector achieve its goals in the short, mid and long term.
