Christ the King International School has become the first Catholic institution in Ghana to benefit from a landmark renewable energy initiative, following the commissioning of a newly installed solar photovoltaic system on its premises. The installation marks the first phase of the school’s broader redevelopment programme.
The commissioning ceremony was presided over by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, C.S.Sp., alongside Most Rev. Gabriel Edoe Kumordji, S.V.D., Bishop of the Keta-Akatsi Diocese and Board Chairman of Lumen Energy Company Limited.
The solar installation forms part of a nationwide programme established through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Lumen Energy Company Limited and Huawei Ghana. Under the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference Renewable Energy Project, the initiative aims to deploy solar energy systems across approximately 4,000 Catholic institutions throughout the country.
Beyond providing reliable and cost-effective electricity, the project signals a firm commitment to sustainability and responsible resource stewardship. Christ the King International School now stands at the forefront of a transformative movement that brings together education, innovation, and environmental responsibility for the benefit of future generations, while setting a compelling example for institutions across the country as the nationwide rollout gathers pace.
The ceremony was attended by the Local Manager, Rev. Fr. Ebenezer Akesseh; the Headmistress, Mrs. Portia Felice Mensah; representatives from Lumen Energy and Huawei Ghana; officials from The Catholic Standard; and staff and students of the school.
