Christ the King International School has taken a bold and forward-looking step toward sustainability and innovation with the commissioning of its newly installed solar photovoltaic system. This remarkable milestone marks the first phase of the school’s ongoing redevelopment project, reflecting a strong commitment to modern infrastructure and environmentally responsible practices.
The commissioning ceremony was led by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, C.S.Sp., together with Most Rev. Gabriel Edoe Kumordji, S.V.D., Bishop of the Keta–Akatsi Diocese and Board Chairman of Lumen Energy Company Limited. The event marked a historic achievement for the school, as Christ the King International School becomes the first Catholic institution in Ghana to benefit from this nationwide renewable energy initiative.
This solar installation forms part of a broader national programme established through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Lumen Energy Company Limited and Huawei Ghana. The initiative seeks to deploy solar energy systems across approximately 4,000 Catholic institutions nationwide under the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference Renewable Energy Project, ensuring reliable and sustainable energy solutions that support teaching, learning, and institutional development.
Beyond delivering reliable and cost-effective electricity, the solar installation demonstrates the school’s strong dedication to sustainability, innovation, and responsible resource management. By embracing renewable energy, Christ the King International School positions itself at the forefront of a transformative journey that brings together education, technology, and environmental stewardship for the benefit of present and future generations. This project also serves as a powerful example for other institutions as the nationwide rollout continues.
The ceremony was attended by distinguished members of the school and partner institutions, including the Local Manager, Rev. Fr. Ebenezer Akesseh; the Headmistress, Mrs. Portia Felice Mensah; representatives from Lumen Energy and Huawei Ghana; officials from the Catholic Standard; as well as staff and students of the school. Their presence underscored the shared vision and collaborative effort behind this important achievement.
As Christ the King International School continues its redevelopment journey, the successful commissioning of the solar photovoltaic system stands as a symbol of progress, responsibility, and hope. It reflects the school’s dedication not only to academic excellence but also to building a sustainable future powered by clean and renewable energy.
This milestone marks the beginning of a new era of innovation and sustainability for Christ the King International School.
