RIFE International Partners with Empower New Energy to Drive Clean Power in Ghana

RIFE is excited to share another major step forward in our commitment to sustainability and energy equity! RIFE International, in partnership with Empower New Energy, has successfully completed a 507kWp solar grid-tied system for the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) at the Ministry of Communications in Ghana.

This innovative system is powering NITA’s 24/7 data center, reducing operational costs, improving system reliability, and supporting the Ministry’s clean energy goals. Here’s a look at the project’s incredible impact:

Annual Production: 705,313 kWh/year

Environmental Impact: 493 metric tons of CO2 saved annually (equivalent to removing 551 vehicles off the road each year!)

Energy Independence: Providing the majority of energy during peak hours, reducing reliance on the grid.

Through a flexible hybrid design, the system seamlessly integrates solar, grid, and generator power—ensuring uninterrupted operations during any power outages. This system not only saves energy but also paves the way for a greener, more sustainable future for Ghana.

We’re proud to be part of this transformational project and to contribute to Ghana’s energy future. The 25-year lifetime of this solar system reflects our long-term commitment to sustainable, impactful solutions that deliver real change.

A huge thanks to Empower New Energy for co-developing and financing the project, and to NITA for trusting us to bring their vision to life.
