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.

NEK has established a new renewable energy platform in Ghana called Anansi Green Energy Ltd. The platform will be a new SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) with a number of specific partners. Anansi Green Energy is a captive industrial power generator that produces its own green energy sourced from NEK’s wind energy projects as well as other solar and possibly biomass projects involving other Ghanaian and international investors.

Harnessing The Wind

The Swiss renewable energy company NEK Umwelttechnik AG (NEK) has been in existence and developing wind farms in Ghana since 1998 through its Accra branch NEK (Ghana) Ltd.

NEK is carrying out several wind energy projects in locations in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana between Tema and Ada, consisting of 6 large-scale wind parks which are ready for construction.

The total capacity to be installed is approximately 1,300 MW. These will produce per year about 3,400 GWh of clean, sustainable, home-made, never ending, and cheap electricity for the Ghanaian population and the industrial sector and contribute with a yearly average production capacity of 450 MW to the electricity supply of the country.

The Government of The Gambia, represented by the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, and Swiss renewable energy firm NEK Umwelttechnik AG have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a 200 MW onshore wind farm and a 350 MW offshore wind farm over several phases.

NEK carried out from 1999 onwards first wind measurements in the District of Ada East. Almost 25 years later and after a process lasting for more than two years, which began with an information campaign for the local population, the farmers involved and the landowners, NEK has now received from the Ghanaian Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the final environmental permit for the wind farm.
