He further added that, the competition seeks to develop  research  skills and to promote technological innovation in Renewable energy in the students for them to develop a passion for solving  Renewable Energy Challenges and climate change  and also to encourage  hardworking through  public recognition  and rewards.
Mr. Julius  Nkansah-Nyarko again stressed that, the energy commission will be collaborating with  some research  institutions in the country such as CSIR, the Brew Hammond energy centre  at KNUST to help refine the ideas and projects of the students and also mentor, train and as well prepare them for the finals of the competitions.

The school challenge  started in 2019 and piloted for schools in the Greater Accra Region where 29 schools participated in the first edition but could not come on in 2020 due to the outbreak of Covid 19.
