Association and industry update
Ghana's Energy Commission introduced an updated enforcement roadmap for 19 Legislative Instruments covering electrical appliances and renewable-energy products. The roadmap has important implications for importers and distributors across the sector.
The relevant product areas include refrigerators, washing machines, rice cookers, computers, set-top boxes, fans, microwave ovens, water heaters, televisions, kettles and air conditioners, among others.
What this means for the industry
Product registration, energy labels, minimum performance requirements and customs compliance are increasingly important parts of bringing appliances to market responsibly. CEHA continues to engage stakeholders as the industry adapts to these requirements.
Importers and distributors are encouraged to stay current with Energy Commission guidance and applicable implementation timelines.
