The Energy Center (TEC), KNUST is commencing its next series of short courses 2013 in Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Design and Installation and Biogas Technology from 20 May to 1 June, 2013. 

 

These courses are part of on-going efforts to build capacity within the West African sub-region for renewable energy project development and implementation.

We regret to inform you about the passing on of the Director of The Energy Center, Prof. Abeeku Brew-Hammond. This sad event occurred on Monday, 25 March, 2013 in the United Kingdom.

 

The one-week commemoration is scheduled for Wednesday, 3 April, 2013.

 

Further details will be communicated in due course.  

 

A team of TEC Fellows have undertaken a study tour of renewable energy facilities and institutions in Germany. 

 

The tour was organized by the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) and funded by the Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia as part of ongoing collaboration between KNUST. 

 

The tour which took place from 9 – 16 February 2013, was designed to put experts from KNUST in contact with their German counterparts to discuss areas of partnership. 

 

As part of the ongoing collaboration between KNUST and the German State of North Rhine Westphalia (NRW), a workshop has been held in Kumasi to outline areas of collaboration in renewable energy and energy efficiency. 

 

The workshop brought together energy experts from KNUST, Ministry of Energy and Energy Commission Ghana, Technical University of Dortmund and University of Applied Sciences in Gerlsinkerchen, Germany.

 

The workshop took place from 22 – 24 January 2013 at The Energy Center, KNUST.

Energy is widely recognized as a critical input for achieving sustainable development.  Vital sectors of Sub-Sahara African (SSA) have failed to meet expectations partly because of poor access to modern energy services.

 

The failure of the conventional energy sector to live up to expectation have become a major threat to sustainable development hence the recent interest in renewable energy (RE).

 

The limited number of qualified personnel has been identified as the main cause of failure of many RE projects in the sub-region.
