Review of insufficient power supply and effort to promote renewable energy technologies in Ghana

Ghana has been experiencing erratic power supply for few years now. The objective of this study was to find out the causes of low power production in the country, reasons hindering the use of available renewable energy resources, and to suggest solutions in achieving a clean and sustainable energy (power) generation to meet the country’s increasing energy demand.

This study was a qualitative research. Information in this study was retrieved from reliable sources that have similar interests in finding solutions to Ghana’s power challenges. The statistics was first hand information retrieved from reports, articles and journals from major power production sectors in Ghana and the world.

The results of this study demonstrated that apart from hydro, Ghana has very high solar and wind energy potentials that could be used to generate large scale electricity, enough to compensate the increasing demand of electricity power if proper and effective measures are taken.
