The government of Ghana has established pilot renewable minigrids in five off-grid communities as a testing ground for the electrification of over 600 existing rural communities that cannot be electrified via the national grid.
The study used a combination of dichotomous choice and open-ended question elicitation methods, and from the author’s ordered probit estimations, the results showed that households in Ghana are willing to pay an average of GHC 2.7 for a kilowatt-hour of electricity supply, about one and a half times more than what they were actually paying.
Although the surveyed communities generally shared similar socioeconomic characteristics with the rural poor in Ghana (and hence results are generalizable), these minigrid communities have had the benefit of already enjoying renewable electricity access relative to the other rural population with little or no electricity access.
