Ghana's secondary school system is a critical component of its education infrastructure, aiming to equip students with essential knowledge and skills for tertiary education and the workforce. This study employs a fixed-effects model (FE) from econometric analysis to estimate the impact of various variables on the adoption rate of energy-efficient practices. The panel data covers 10 years with annual observations for each school in Ghana. The estimated FE model indicates that initial investment costs and perceived benefits significantly influence the adoption rates, while teacher training programmes have a positive but diminishing effect over time. Panel-data analysis reveals key insights into the dynamics of energy adoption within Ghana's secondary schools, highlighting the importance of financial incentives and educational support in promoting sustainable practices. To enhance the adoption rate of energy-saving technologies, policymakers should prioritise targeted subsidies for low-income schools and implement continuous professional development programmes for teachers. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
