Genser Energy received high approval ratings from the members of the Energy and Mines Committee of Ghana\u2019s Parliament during a tour of the company\u2019s natural gas power plant, which is providing energy to Gold Fields Ghana Limited\u2019s Tarkwa Mines in the Western Region and the Ejisu Plant Metering Station in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n
Dr. Kwabena Donkor, the MP for Pru East and a member of the committee said: \u201cAs one of the key drivers of local content policy, I am very proud of your participation in the midstream oil and gas sector. You are probably the best example of Ghanaian participation in the midstream sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGenser is the company of the future,\u201d said Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, another member of the committee and a former Energy Minister. \u201cIf you are familiar with the Gas Master Plan of Ghana, it\u2019s as if everything that has been envisioned by Ghana, Genser has just picked up and running ahead of everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its 15 years of operation, Genser Energy provides summer internship opportunities for undergraduate students from Ghanaian universities, where selected interns have the opportunity to work alongside project engineers and managers in developing existing and new projects. Genser also has a partnership arrangement with the Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO), a non-profit leadership development organization, to recruit National Service Personnel as part of measures to harness their soft and technical skills while building a career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a wonderful and admirable journey with Genser. Every now and then there are new opportunities and new things to learn,\u201d Nathaniel Nortey Tetteh, who joined Genser Energy as an intern in 2010 from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and now acting as project manager at the company\u2019s Prestea Gas Plant, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe love for co-workers is admirable and everyone is willing to help, especially the young ones. You\u2019ll never want to miss such an environment because it\u2019s been very great working at Genser. If you want to learn more, the best place for you is Genser because the opportunities are many. The people are loving and very accommodating,\u201d Tetteh said.<\/p>\n
For his part, Daniel Ayi, Vice President in charge of Operations at Genser Energy said their aim is to empower indigenous Ghanaians, especially the young ones, in the energy sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cGenser is a multinational company with a few foreigners and the rest between 85% to 90% are local engineers. We take the engineers from the universities and train them. Most of our workforce is made up of the youth. We\u2019ve been able to train them to take up certain key positions and with time most of them will graduate to management level,\u201d Ayi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cGenser has come to stay and we want to conquer, especially West Africa to push our power to the neighbouring countries. Genser has training opportunities and plans for the youth in particular. We\u2019re aiming to put the image of Ghana on the world map,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Nana Osae Nyampong VI, the Board Chairman of Genser Energy, said the company is more interested in creating opportunities for young indigenous locals to blaze the trail in a sector dominated by ex-pats. He said once Ghanaians are empowered it holds the key to turning the economic fortunes of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are a Ghanaian company, so we look to Ghana for our staff. It\u2019s only when we cannot get, then we look elsewhere for it,\u201d Nana Nyampong VI said.<\/p>\n
