Long delays in payments to power producers are a significant concern in the sector as the government pays for the subsidy from the national budget. Debt within the energy sector, coupled with the high cost of power in Ghana, creates a brake on Ghana’s economic development.
The price of electricity currently stands at US$0.106/KWh. Consumer bargaining power is also low in Ghana; prices are determined by the government with little input from the public. Consumers do not have the option of transferring from one electricity distribution company to another because there are no other options.
Ghana’s energy sector has significant debt because of years of accumulated financial shortfalls from power pricing that does not recover full cost, although residential and business electricity consumers consider tariffs to be high.
Ghana’s thermal power generation is fueled largely by natural gas, but occasionally uses light crude oil and diesel. Ghana exports power to Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso. The Government of Ghana remains heavily involved in the energy sector, with state entities having a controlling presence in the value chain.
In 2021, hydro accounted for around 34.1% of total power, with thermal accounting for 65.3% and renewables accounting for 0.55%. according toUSAID. Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) is responsible for all transmissions. Distribution Company (NEDCo) and Enclave Power Company (EPC).
Ghana’s energy needs continue to grow. In 2025, projected electricity consumption is estimated to reach 25,836 GWh, representing a 4.7% increase in demand year-on-year. Hydro, thermal, and renewables constitute Ghana’s electricity generation mix.
