Abstract
This presentation contains key findings and policy insights derived from the ONSSET modeling tool, focusing on two scenarios for achieving electricity access in Ghana by 2030. Scenario 1 highlights a decrease in total investments required and emphasizes the need to increase photovoltaic (PV) investments by 25% to enhance renewable energy utilization. Scenario 2 demonstrates a reduction in new connections but a substantial increase in total generation capacity, predominantly driven by other renewable energy sources. The policy insights derived from these scenarios include optimizing PV investments, prioritizing infrastructure development in underserved areas, integrating renewable energy sources into the grid, providing financial support, and investing in capacity building and awareness initiatives. Implementing these policy recommendations can significantly contribute to Ghana's electricity access targets, ensuring sustainable and reliable energy for its growing population while supporting global climate change mitigation efforts.
