Catholic Church partners Letshego to roll out GHS200m solar energy project across Ghana

The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, in partnership with Letshego Ghana Savings and Loans and Lumen Energy, has launched a groundbreaking GHS200 million solar energy project to power more than 4,000 Catholic institutions across the country.

Signed at the National Catholic Secretariat in Accra on July 25, 2025, the agreement marks one of the largest renewable energy collaborations between a financial institution and a faith-based body in Ghana. The project will equip Catholic schools, hospitals, parishes, and offices with solar power systems, cutting down on carbon emissions and promoting energy efficiency.

Beyond reducing the Church’s environmental footprint, the initiative is also expected to create green jobs, especially for young people, who will be trained to support the installation and maintenance of the systems.

The move signals the Catholic Church’s deepening commitment to climate action and sustainable development, and aligns with Ghana’s national and global climate goals. Through this partnership, the Church is not only powering its institutions but also championing environmental stewardship and social impact across the country.
