The Energy Commission of Ghana is required by law to prepare, review and periodically update indicative national plans to ensure the countrys energy needs are met in a sustainable manner. The goal of the Strategic National Energy Plan (SNEP) is to contribute to the development of a sound energy market providing sufficient, viable and efficient energy services required for economic development. The Plan seeks to identify the optimal path for the development, use and efficient management of the countrys energy resources. In terms of renewable energy, the Plan seeks to:

Increase use of renewable energy sources to 10% of the Ghana energy mix by 2020;

Achieve 30% penetration of rural electrification via renewable energy technologies by 2020.

To achieve this aim the Plan makes several policy recommendations, including: The establishment of a tariff regime friendly to renewable energy, namely a feed-in tariff, backed by a regulatory framework that allows such generation plants (namely existing biomass co-generation plants) to be connected to the national grid through issuance of licences for large renewable energy plants; Encouraging District Assemblies to provide electricity services to their off-grid communities via mini-grids and micro-grids through alternative distributed generation sources such as biomass; Investigating innovative financial schemes, including capital subsidy arrangements and micro-ficing, to overcome the cost barrier to renewable energy. For example, the Ghana Investment Promotion Council (GIPC) Investment Code should make provisions for tax exemptions for renewable energy manufacturing.

In addition, wind powered and solar energy generating sets, plants, machinery, equipment or parts for the establishment of manufacturing facility should be exempt from import duty, VAT and excise duties; Encouraging Ghanaian industrialists to partner with popular brand manufacturers to set up branches of production and assembly lines in the country; The Energy Commission establishes and enforces certification and licensing of dealers in renewable energy technologies based on predetermined requirements; The Government focus on provision of decentralised renewable energy power systems for public communal facilities and needs; The Government support the private sector to provide decentralised renewable energy systems for individual and commercial needs. Government support could include arranging concessionary credits for the local dealers; Having public -private sector partnership in large-scale centralised power projects through shared costs.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Turning Into The Energy Trade of the Century

You might think that Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, is betting it all on AI, but he is not. He is betting on the $5+ trillion in infrastructure required to run it, and that’s where big capital is flowing now. And he’s betting on Bitzero (NASDAQ: AIBZ) to be one of the first to break AI’s biggest chokepoint: power. Bitzero was looking further ahead while most of the rest of the market was narrowly focused on AI software and semiconductors. As a result, on May 5th, Bitzero…

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a decade. Not only this, but Chinese refiners were…

The World's Biggest Energy Bet Is No Longer on Fossil Fuels

For years, critics of the energy transition have made essentially the same argument. Renewable energy was supposedly too expensive, too dependent on subsidies, too intermittent, and too vulnerable to survive a serious energy security crisis. Sooner or later, they argued, governments and investors would return to the comfort of oil, gas, and coal. The latest figures from the International Energy Agency suggest the opposite is happening. According to the IEA's newly released World Energy Investment 2026 report, global investment in clean energy has…

The World Is Racing to Develop New Nuclear Fuels

In the age of the nuclear renaissance, several countries are strategising to significantly increase their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades, as part of efforts to diversify their energy mix and boost long-term energy security. However, securing fuel to power operations has been complicated, particularly following the introduction of sanctions on Russian energy products. Now, alternative uranium fuels offer promise for the nuclear energy industry. Nuclear fission, used in all existing nuclear power plants, is the process in which an…

China Eyes a Major Opportunity in Post-War Iran

Beijing is positioning itself to lead the post-war reconstruction effort in Tehran - a move analysts suggest could secure China long-term access to critical Iranian oil reserves. The diplomatic groundwork was laid during a recent meeting in New Delhi between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to Nikkei Asia. The talks underscore China's broader strategy to expand its economic and diplomatic footprint in the Middle East amid the vacuum left in the wake of one failed US…
