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.
Generators, solar panels, and other small-scale power supplies, such as flashlights, can be used as power substitutes in Ghana. However, substitutes have low bargaining leverage because predominantly, power from the government is relatively cheaper than most forms of alternative power supply.

In these very small grid systems, DC grids can build on existing SHS investments, but the power usage is rather limited and only DC appliances can be used. The sizes of mini-grid systems available for this analysis are between 5 kW and 1 MW, with the dataset containing information on 33 mini-grids in Africa.
