This initiative marks a significant step towards the college’s commitment to sustainable energy practices and enhancing the learning environment for its students.
The solar project, a legacy undertaking by the 1999 Year Group of Adisco alumni, is expected to be completed and commissioned by March 2024, coinciding with the College’s 114th anniversary and speech day celebration.
Upon completion, the solar plant will generate sufficient power to meet 80 per cent of the College’s energy needs, resulting in substantial cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
The 1999 alumni have successfully raised a total sum of GH¢2 million to support the solar project.
Speaking on the project’s significance, the Chairman of the 1999 Year Group, David Kattah, emphasised the dual benefits of the initiative:
“The solar project represents a transformative advancement for Adisadel College, not only in terms of sustainable energy practices but also in enhancing the teaching and learning environment for our students.
“By reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources, we are creating a cleaner and more conducive atmosphere for learning, while also instilling a sense of environmental responsibility in our students,” Mr Kattah said and called on all old boys for their support.
He also hinted that his team would be calling on corporate Ghana and individuals to partner in this worthy cause.
The sod-cutting ceremony was attended by distinguished guests, including representatives from the Adisadel College administration, the 1999 Year Group alumni, and local dignitaries.
The ceremony marked a pivotal moment in the college’s history, signalling its dedication to embracing innovative and sustainable energy solutions for the future.
