Overview
This report, published by Oxfam partner, the Africa Center for Energy Policy (ACEP) examines the Ghana's power sector value chain and its implications for reliable, affordable and clean energy supply. The work outlines the role of the Ghanian government in the electricity sector, and outlines three salient challenges facing the energy sector: 1) The role for gas in Ghana's power sector and the relevance of criticisms regarding oversupply, 2) challenges regarding power transmission and distribution, and 3) the country's readiness for integrating renewables.
The report finds that Ghana's power sector is not overly burdened by over-supply, identifies that revenue shortfalls and governance issues lie at the heart of problems in the transmission and distribution sector, and fingers the lack of an enabling environment as a primary blocker to increasing renewable energy penetration.
