Multinational oil company Puma Energy said it has installed solar power systems and battery storage units at several of its locations in Ghana.

Solar panels with a combined total capacity of 422 kWp were installed at 11 retail service stations and three Puma Energy terminals. At 11 of the 14 sites, the company backed solar with storage capacity for a total of 224 kWh.

The initiative is part of the company’s Future Energies business through which it seeks to roll out renewable energy projects around the world, focusing on emerging markets across the Americas, Africa and Asia-Pacific. Puma Energy said it will aim to install solar with or without storage at no less than 75% of its owned retail sites, depots and terminals globally by 2023.

“Africa, and Ghana in particular, has a great potential of solar power and we are establishing the first steps to transforming this potential into a more sustainable and energy efficient system to power our sites and depots,” said Henry Osei, Puma Energy general manager in Ghana.

Puma Energy is also scaling the roll-out of solar hybrid systems in other nations with high solar energy potential, including Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Honduras and Papua New Guinea, the company added.

Puma Energy’s main shareholders are Singapore-based commodities trader Trafigura Group Pte Ltd and Angolan state-controlled oil-and-gas company Sonangol.
