The Energy Commission of Ghana and Uganda’s Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA) have held high-level discussions aimed at deepening collaboration in energy regulation, enforcement, and performance standards across the two countries.
The talks, which took place recently, centred on improving regulatory coordination, accelerating grid infrastructure development, and harmonising performance benchmarks to enhance the efficiency and reliability of energy service delivery in both nations.
Both institutions agreed to explore the establishment of a formal partnership framework that will facilitate long-term cooperation, knowledge sharing, and best practices in energy sector governance. Officials described the engagement as a significant step toward strengthening power sector institutions on the continent.

The Ghanaian delegation was led by Deputy Executive Secretary Chris Nana Banyin Yalley and included Acting Director of Inspection and Enforcement, Ing. Ampadu Acheampong. They met with Uganda’s Electricity Regulatory Authority Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Ziria Tibalwa Waako, and her technical team.
Speaking after the meeting, officials from both sides expressed optimism that the collaboration would lead to more robust and efficient regulatory systems, ultimately improving energy reliability for consumers in Ghana and Uganda.
The partnership is expected to support broader African efforts to enhance power sector governance, promote cross-border learning, and address common challenges in electricity regulation and infrastructure development.
