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.
o Indigenous resources (hydropower, renewables, and natural gas) are the least-cost option over the entire planning period to improve energy security, and allow gradual grid integration of solar and wind. ● Renewable Energy. Ghana has a goal of 10% renewable generation by 2030.
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.
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).
