Anansi Green Energy Ltd., NEK's renewable energy platform in Ghana, receives license for duty-free status

Anansi Green Energy Limited, a platform established by the NEK Group in Ghana, becomes a member of Ghana's duty-free trade authority (GFZA). The admission took place April 2026. As a result, Anansi will benefit from extensive tax breaks on the import of materials (including wind turbines, generators, etc.) and on the future operation of wind energy projects. These customs and tax breaks are one of the prerequisites for Anansi to be able to supply its future electricity customers with green electricity at the lowest possible price.
Anansi Green Energy Limited is a company founded in 2024 that will operate as an electricity supplier in Ghana, selling renewable, green, and sustainably produced electricity to its customers at extremely attractive prices. Anansi will be the operator of the wind energy projects developed by the NEK Group over the past few years. The plan is to achieve around 500 - 600 MW of wind capacity in the first phase, with further capacity to be added in later phases. To date, the NEK Group has developed around 1,500 MW of wind power in six wind projects in Ghana, which are ready for construction.
Anansi will sell the cheap, domestically produced, sustainable, and renewable electricity directly to large industrial customers such as mining companies, the cement sector, steel manufacturers, and other large industries in Ghana itself. Negotiations are also currently underway with state-owned electricity suppliers, which are also interested in purchasing green electricity from Anansi. There are also plans to export green electricity abroad at a later date.
Discussions are currently underway with various interested parties who would like to participate in Anansi.
The carbon savings resulting from this initiative will be enormous, and the green certificates can help Ghana meet its NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) under the Paris Climate Agreement. The carbon footprint of participating and purchasing companies in Ghana will improve significantly, and Ghana will be able to demonstrate its leadership in the fight against climate change in sub-Saharan Africa. A recently published study concluded that the market potential for green certificates will be around USD 9 billion by 2030.
According to official estimates, Ghana will see a sharp rise in energy demand by 2030, from around 28,000 GWh/year at present to around 42,000 GWh/year. According to the government's plans, this additional demand is to be met primarily by renewable energy sources, to which the NEK Group's wind projects will make a significant contribution.
