This marks an important policy shift towards greening Ghana's energy sector. While this is a commendable and bold step, the Ministry has yet to outline a clear roadmap detailing the specific goals, targets, and implementation strategies for achieving a just and effective green transition.
Ghana's daily solar insolation levels range from 4 kWh/m² to 6 kWh/m², with a sunshine duration between 1800 and 3000 hours per year, which offers a high potential for solar electricity generation. Wind energy also holds untapped potential, particularly along Ghana's coastal regions, where wind speeds are favorable for electricity generation.
