How can SSA implement a wind policy in Ghana?
To operationalize these strategies, Ghana—and peer countries in SSA—should adopt a phased rollout framework: Phase I (–): Finalize national wind policy; identify five high-potential sites; initiate two 50 MW pilot projects through PPPs; begin community engagement and workforce training.
Does Ghana have a wind corridor?
The preceding sections have illustrated that Ghana is endowed with commercially viable wind corridors along its eastern coastline and in highland regions, with wind speeds ranging from 6.5 to 9.0 m/s, conditions comparable to early-stage wind zones in Europe and Asia.
How can Ghana improve grid modernization?
In tandem, Ghana must accelerate grid modernization through the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo). This includes strengthening substations near wind-rich zones, establishing dynamic load balancing systems, and investing in transmission redundancy to accommodate wind corridors, especially in the Volta and Eastern regions. 4. 3.
Should Ghana invest in wind energy?
Ghana’s success in deploying wind energy will hinge on its ability to attract both domestic and international capital. To that end, the government should establish a Wind Infrastructure Development Fund—seeded through a combination of concessional financing, climate funds (e.g., the Green Climate Fund), and sovereign guarantees.
Is wind energy a viable alternative to traditional energy?
The region’s overreliance on fossil fuels and hydro-dependent power systems, many of which are increasingly threatened by climate variability, has exposed millions to frequent energy insecurity. Against this backdrop, wind energy has emerged globally as one of the most scalable, reliable, and clean alternatives to traditional energy sources.
What is the wind speed in Ghana?
This is despite the fact that Ghana’s coastal and highland regions exhibit promising wind resources, with mean wind speeds of 6.5 to 9.0 m/s in areas such as Nkwanta, Anloga, and Ada Foah (Energy Commission of Ghana, ).
