WASHINGTON, June 12th, 2024 – The World Bank today approved a $250 million credit from the International Development Association (IDA)* and a $10 million grant from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program for a 4-year Ghana Energy Sector Recovery Program for Results (PforR).Why is the energy sector a problem in Ghana?Long delays in payments to power producers are a significant concern in the sector as the government pays for the subsidy from the national budget. Debt within the energy sector, coupled with the high cost of power in Ghana, creates a brake on Ghana’s economic development.
What is the national energy policy of Ghana?XVII Art. Cabinet at its forty-seventh meeting on 25th March, 2023 approved the reviewed National Energy Policy of Ghana which is intended to guide the development and management of Ghana’s energy sector, especially during this era of the global call to transition to clean energy use.
What is the capacity of re power generation in Ghana?RE power generation capacity0.19%0.35%Source: Energy Commission, 2015Under the project “Capacity for a Successful Implementation of the Renewable Energy Act in Ghana” (C-SIREA) sponsored by GIZ, it has been estimated that various renewable energy technologies should contribute over 500MW in the national energy mix, in order to achieve t.
Why is Ghana's energy sector in debt?Ghana’s energy sector has significant debt because of years of accumulated financial shortfalls from power pricing that does not recover full cost, although residential and business electricity consumers consider tariffs to be high.
Why are electricity distribution losses high in Ghana?Electricity distribution losses are high in Ghana due to a low collection rate and below-cost recovery tariffs, undermining the operational and financial performance of energy utilities in the country. The Government of Ghana transfers about 2% of GDP annually to cover the energy sector’s financial shortfall.
Is nuclear power the next clean baseload option for Ghana?Nuclear power has the advantage of greater security of supply and non-emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs). In Ghana’s quest to improve upon energy security in the future, the energy sector has commenced the necessary steps of incorporating nuclear power as the next clean baseload option for the count
