TOTAL GHANA UNVEILS THIRD SOLAR POWERED STATION

Total Petroleum Ghana Ltd., a locally listed oil marketing company, has opened its third solar powered station in Kumasi 
as part of its commitment to develop solar energy through cutting-edge technology. 
The Total Mile 4 service station which is also the very first of its kind in the Ashanti Region, 
has 50 solar panel installation with about 16.35 kWp of power production. This service station is an ultramodern one 
with a convenient shop, forecourt and a lube bay for efficient vehicle servicing. 

Speaking on the project, the Managing Director, Eric Fanchini said that the installation of the solar system is expected 
to contribute to the reduction of the site's carbon footprint. Since the company inaugurated the Tema Main Harbour solar 
service station in July 2018 and the second solar station at Takoradi Airport Junction service station in November 2018, 
it has been able to save up on electricity cost, harnessing the potential of solar energy. 
The three solar powered stations were constructed and maintained by local engineers and solar experts. 
The company believes that the way to consolidate its social operating license is to share expertise with the local s
killed force and to listen to stakeholders. 

'As a responsible industrial player, Total Petroleum Ghana takes action to develop new energies that are efficient and 
environmentally friendly.' This, he said is equally central to the modernization of our service stations to bring 
convenience and quality products and services to customers. In addition to the solar station, the company introduced 
solar kiosks to selected service stations in 2018 to provide easy access to phone charging and wifi connection. 

The company started the wave of renewable energy in 2015 with the introduction of 100% solar lamps which are accessible 
at all Total service station shops nationwide. 
Total Petroleum Ghana, which was adjudged Brand of the Year at the Ghana Energy Awards, will continue to show its 
leadership strength in investing and improving the standard of its stations for the benefits of customers and the general public.
