According to data from the World Bank [https://www.data.world bank.org], Ghana is the next country in Africa with the highest electricity penetration, according to the deputy minister of transportation, Hassan Tampuli.
He said that by the end of 2023, the administration intends to raise the percentage to 90%.
The deputy transport minister stated that Ghana’s electricity reserve capacity—hydro, thermal, and renewables—is greater than that of other African nations during a stakeholder consultation on electric vehicle policy and implementation framework in Accra on Wednesday, August 2, 2023.
“Ghana is the next-highest electricity-penetration country in Africa. 86.3% nationwide, and this administration is dedicated to bringing that number up to 90% by the end of the year. We also plan to achieve universal coverage by the end of 2024, he added.
“Really and truly, our reserve capacity is way more than a lot of countries, even in Africa,” Hassan Tampuli continued.Many of these nations have high penetration rates: Burkina Faso has 19%, Liberia has 29%, Niger has 18.6%, and so on. We have enough since Côte d’Ivoire, at 71.1%, is the closest you can get. Sometimes we don’t appreciate what we have until we compare it to other nations.
