Ghana is launching a strategic 20 MW solar project to boost its energy grid and strengthen national capacity.
Led by Renergy Solar, this initiative supports the country’s ambitious energy transition goals.
As a renewable energy leader in West Africa, Ghana is rolling out a 20 MW solar power plant as part of a larger 40 MW project to expand its clean energy footprint and cut carbon emissions.
The Ghanaian Information Agency (AGI) reports that Renergy Solar, a Denmark-based company, is managing the project.
Renergy Solar has finalized network and environmental impact assessments, and local regulators are reviewing the project.
The solar plant is set to be operational by 2025.
Ghana is accelerating its energy transition through initiatives like this solar project, which aligns with the Energy Transition and Investment Plan (ETIP) unveiled in 2023 in partnership with Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL).
The ETIP targets net-zero emissions in Ghana’s energy sector by 2060, with solar energy prioritized as a key technology.
By launching this plant, Ghana is addressing rising renewable energy demands and supporting economic growth.
The 40 MW project is advancing Ghana’s integration into regional energy markets and supporting cross-border energy trade.
This project aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels while boosting clean energy capacity.
Ghana’s public-private partnership with Renergy Solar reflects Africa’s growing trend of international collaborations to fund and build sustainable energy infrastructure.
