Generally, there is yet to be any form ex-post analysis of mini-grids in the Ghanaian context.
From the relevant planning literature ( Energy Commission of Ghana, 2019; Government of Ghana, 2015 ), between 300 and 400 mini-grids are intended to be deployed by 2030. These are expected to provide electricity to about 350,000 of the 2.9 million residents of the Island and Lakeside communities ( Government of Ghana, 2015 ).
Socio-economic study for mini-grid electrification of island communities in Ghana Performance analysis of different grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system technologies with combined capacity of 20 kW located in humid tropical climate International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 42 ( 2017), pp. 4626 - 4635, 10.1016/j.ijhydene.2016.10.119
Citing examples from Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Lesotho, the authors in Ref. ( Azimoh et al., 2017), indicates that the narrative on mini-grid projects in Sub-Saharan Africa has been one of limited success with premature project terminations.
Cost of electricity supply remain too high for financial viability of mini-grids. Efficient tariff design can significantly lower the financial viability gap. About 85% of the population of Ghana are resident in communities with grid coverage but actual connection to the grid stands at 82% ( Energy Commission of Ghaa, 2020 ).
Since the cost estimates utilised here are specific to cabling under the seabed, cost is likely be lower in the circumstances of Ghana where rivers are involved. The possibility also exists for centralised grid extension to this community as there exist a lake Island on which poles can connect from the riverbanks.
