First-of-its-kind installation marks Ghana’s bold step toward reliable, sustainable and cost-effective power for commercial and industrial operations.
The Automation Ghana Group (TAGG) — the umbrella brand representing its member companies Process & Plant Automation Ltd (PPA), Automation Solutions Ltd (ASL) and Electrical Switchgear Ltd (ESL) — has commissioned the Huawei LUNA2000–215 kWh Battery Energy Storage System, marking a major milestone in Ghana’s renewable energy and industrial power landscape.
This deployment is the first of its kind in Ghana, positioning TAGG at the forefront of industrial-scale clean energy adoption.
The launch event, hosted at TAGG’s headquarters, showcased the company’s ambitious plan to transition fully off the national grid and operate solely on clean, reliable power.
A Major Leap Toward Reliable, Affordable and Sustainable Power
Delivering the keynote address, the General Manager explained the relevance of the LUNA2000–215 to Ghana’s commercial and industrial sector.
He noted that one unit delivers 215 kWh of usable energy, expandable to 20 units on a single network, providing over 4 MWh of combined storage capacity. Multiple networks can also be deployed to form a large industrial-scale energy storage plant.
The system features a 91.3% round-trip efficiency — returning nearly all the energy stored with minimal loss — and employs hybrid thermal management, a blend of liquid and air cooling designed for extended battery life and consistent performance in hot climates.
PPA’s Renewable Energy System Becomes a Live Case Study
Process & Plant Automation Ltd has integrated the LUNA2000–215 into its own renewable energy framework.
PPA has invested GH₵ 3.3 million in a comprehensive solar PV and Energy Storage System (ESS) system — including solar panels, inverters, switchgear, installation materials, and three units of the LUNA2000–215.
The company’s facility consumes approximately 1,180 kWh daily, while its solar array generates up to 1,440 kWh on a good day. This allows PPA to use most of the energy it produces, with enough surplus to charge about 50% of its 645 kWh storage capacity.
Even at this stage, PPA is achieving up to 90% savings on monthly utility bills. With plans to expand solar generation further, the company aims to operate a fully off-grid system, using the LUNA2000–215 to provide resilient backup during cloudy periods.
Based on current performance, PPA expects the project to break even within 3 years, supported by a 10+ year lifespan and a 5-year warranty on the energy storage system.
A Sustainability Vision Beyond Technology
Head of Compliance and Sustainability, Ms. Hubat Daudi, emphasized TAGG’s commitment to climate action and environmental responsibility.
She highlighted TAGG’s “Net Zero Station”, which houses the LUNA2000 ESS, serves as a plastic segregation and processing area, and features a developing green zone acting as a mini carbon sink.
She also celebrated TAGG’s Plasticycle Challenge, through which 37 employees have collected over 850 kg ofplastic waste for recycling.
These efforts reinforce TAGG’s alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable & Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action).
Industry Voices: Starsight and MTN Testify
Corporate partners shared their perspectives on renewable energy adoption:
- Starsight praised the durability, reliability and user-friendliness of Huawei’s renewable technologies, as well as their strong technical support.
- MTN Ghana highlighted its already-installed solar PV systems as part of its climate action strategy, reflecting the critical role renewable energy plays in powering telecommunications sustainably.
Their testimonies reinforced confidence in Huawei’s solutions and TAGG’s engineering leadership.
A Tour Showcasing TAGG’s Engineering Strength
Guests were led on a guided tour of TAGG’s facilities, including:
- The ultra-modern switchgear assembly workshop
- The Smart Home automation showroom
- TAGG’s retail and distribution operations
The tour concluded at the Net Zero Station, where 645 kWh of LUNA2000 storage was fully operational.
The product was unveiled through a ribbon-cutting ceremony and photoshoot.
Huawei Reaffirms Its Commitment to Ghana
The Channel Director for Huawei Sub-Saharan Africa, Chengcheng Yuan,
applauded TAGG’s leadership in clean energy adoption and reaffirmed Huawei’s
long-term commitment to Ghana. She assured stakeholders that Huawei will
continue to deliver world-class innovation and dependable after-sales service
through its Tier 1 partner, Process & Plant Automation Ltd.
A Significant Step for Ghana’s Commercial and Industrial Power Landscape
The commissioning of the LUNA2000–215 ESS represents a major step toward solving electricity availability, stability and cost challenges faced by commercial and industrial facilities across Ghana. As the first installation of its kind in the country, it demonstrates TAGG’s leadership in introducing advanced, scalable and future-ready solutions to industry.
This initiative brings TAGG’s mission to life: to transform the lives of stakeholders — customers, employees and the community — by providing unique engineering and automation products and services through innovation, training and exceptional customer service.
Projects like this reinforce TAGG’s belief that sustainability and technological progress must translate into practical, measurable value for businesses and society.
