Ghana has established the necessary policy and regulatory measures to attract investment into its energy sector, according to Onasis Kobby Rosely, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Operations and Technical) of the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation.
Speaking at the ongoing Ghana Biennial International Summit and Exhibition 2026, Mr. Rosely said Ghana has created a stable and investor-friendly environment aimed at reducing investment risks and improving returns in the energy industry.
Representing PHDC Chief Executive Officer Toni Aubynn during a panel discussion on “Unlocking Investment in Africa’s Energy Sector: Powering Growth, Innovation, and Inclusion,” he noted that African countries are increasingly positioning themselves to attract long-term capital into strategic sectors.
Ghana Pushes Investor Confidence
Mr. Rosely argued that Ghana’s energy sector reforms and investment framework should give investors confidence to commit resources to the country’s growing energy market.
He stated that Ghana has worked to establish a conducive environment capable of guaranteeing sustainable returns for investors while supporting broader economic development.
According to him, Africa’s energy transformation should be driven largely by African-led initiatives and financing models rather than relying solely on external support.
Call for Innovative Financing
The PHDC official also proposed the use of innovative domestic financing mechanisms to support infrastructure expansion across the continent’s energy sector.
He specifically highlighted pension funds as a potential source of long-term capital for financing energy infrastructure and industrial projects.
Mr. Rosely maintained that stronger collaboration between governments, investors and financial institutions would be critical in unlocking the full potential of Africa’s energy industry and accelerating economic growth across the continent.
