In a bid to strengthen energy literacy and practical skills among tertiary students, the AEPGH Student Chapter at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has successfully hosted Ghana’s first Energy Efficiency Bootcamp.

The 3-day program included workshops on energy auditing, retrofitting buildings, and smart energy systems. Resource persons from the Energy Commission, GRIDCo, and private energy firms led practical sessions and demonstrations.

"Our goal was to bring industry closer to academia and prepare students for the technical demands of Ghana’s evolving energy space," said Nana Kwadwo Agyemang, the Chapter President at KNUST.

Over 80 students from across Ghana attended, concluding with a group energy audit challenge that tested their new skills. Plans are underway to replicate the bootcamp at UENR and University of Ghana in the coming semester.
