Electricity supply in Ghana has been outstripped by electricity demand for decades. This has led to numerous energy crises, with negative consequences for the economy. Economic development is valued and the country aims to become highly industrialised within the next four decades. In order to accomplish this, Ghana’s electricity problem must be addressed. Effectively reviving a decades-old aspiration, the government of Ghana has shown renewed commitment to the implementation of a nuclear power programme and the use of nuclear power to drive economic development. Significant steps have been taken to realise this goal, but there is still much work to be done.
