The revenue potential of energy storage technologies is often undervalued. Investors could adjust their evaluation approach to get a true estimate.
With growing demand for electricity storage from stationary and mobile applications, the total stock of electricity storage capacity in energy terms will need to grow from an estimated 4.67 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2017 to 11.89-15.72 TWh (155-227% higher than in 2017) if the share of renewable energy in the energy system is to be doubled by 2030.
Ghana’s previous long-term energy plan, the Strategic National Energy Plan (2006-2020), was not successfully implemented, leading to power crises. The drafting of the IPSMP was more inclusive of interested parties, used a more robust methodology, and received support from partners like the World Bank and USAID.
According to Ghana’s Energy Commission, final energy consumption increased by 4.3% in 2019. Peak electricity demand for 2019 was 2804 MW, well under Ghana’s total installed capacity of 5,172 MW. Installed capacity is dominated by thermal (68%), followed by hydro (31%), and marginal renewables (0.82%)(Figure 1).
The result of this is that non-pumped hydro electricity storage will grow from an estimated 162 GWh in 2017 to 5 821-8 426 GWh in 2030 (Figure ES3). energy mix. This boom in storage will be driven by the rapid growth of utility-scale and behind-the-meter applications.
Installed capacity is dominated by thermal (68%), followed by hydro (31%), and marginal renewables (0.82%)(Figure 1). Ghana’s thermal dependency is due to high demand, unpredictable water levels in domestic dams, discovery of indigenous oil and gas, and the introduction of the West African Gas Pipeline.
Ghana’s rapid population growth and ambitious development agenda will significantly increase electricity demand. The government has developed various strategic plans in response. Understanding both the current and potential pathways is crucial to Ghana’s next policy making steps.
