Swiss wind farm developer NEK Umwelttechnik plans to develop the Ayitepa Wind Farm of 200 megawatts to meet 10 per cent of the Ghana’s total electricity generation capacity, reports GhanaWeb. Energy and Petroleum Minister Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah emphasized the need for other energy sources to ...
The case study indicates that, given the projected levels of Ghana's electricity demand and expenses for generation capacity addition, the level of unmet demand could be as high as 18.5% if Ghana were to follow through with its 10% renewable electricity target by 2030. Correspondingly, the ...
When fully operational the wind farm will generate approximately 10% ofGhana'stotal electricity generation capacity which currently stands at 2,000MW. Commenting on this initiative, Mr. Wisdom Ahiataku-Togobo, the Director of Renewable Energy at the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum,Ghanasays: "It...
The state agencies seek projects already in development but in need of help to overcome obstacles, and the overall aim is to add 30,000 megawatts of generation capacity and 60 million new connections for homes and businesses. Thus far, the program has helped to secure private investment worth ...
[16] also noted that local governments play a significant role in distributed generation and energy efficiency improvements, but their willingness and capacity to play this role remains questionable. Consequently, many studies have tried to explore the role of local governments in sustainable energy ...
