We're prioritising solar, wind, hydro power for energy growth – Akufo-Addo
The government is implementing a series of policies and measures to "incentivise" green investments, foster a culture of energy efficiency, and prioritise the development of solar, wind and hydroelectric power projects as key strategies for the growth of the energy sector in the country, President Nana Akufo-Addo has said.
Speaking at the commissioning of a 15-megawatt solar power plant in Kaleo in the Upper West Region, the president said such green energy policies aim to reduce dependency on thermal sources of power.
Ghana is currently experiencing erratic power supply.
The situation has persisted for about three months.
Both the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo), have traded accusations and counter-accusations over who must bear responsibility for the situation.
It remains unclear when regular power supply will be restored.
On Wednesday, 24 April 2024, ECG Board Chair Herbert Krapa announced a respite in the coming days.
