Through SREP, the Government of Ghana and the African Development Bank are developing hybrid renewable energy mini-grid electricity systems, standalone solar photovoltaic systems, and roof-mounted net-metered solar photovoltaic systems to provide clean energy to lakeside and island communities in the Northern, Savannah, Bono East, and Oti regions of Ghana.

The Ghana: Roadmap for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate, co-developed by Ghana’s Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Environment, GCA and partners, revealed that some of the intended beneficiaries of Ghana’s solar assets are situated in fragile climate ecosystems and climate hazard hotspots. To help climate-proof this investment project, GCA is providing a high-resolution climate risk assessment and developing technical guidelines for climate-resilient solar asset siting, design, operations, and maintenance. GCA’s support will secure the assets’ lifespan, minimize climate-induced systems disruptions and costs of repairs, and ensure that energy is reliably generated for the communities.
