Ghana is moving fast. In 2025 the government announced a major US$3.4 billion clean-energy programme to accelerate its transition away from expensive, polluting thermal generation and to scale up utility solar, wind, mini-grids, charging infrastructure and other green investments. The package is framed as a five-year push to add large volumes of renewables, expand off-grid access and support clean cooking and water-pumping solutions for agriculture and public services.

The idea is to broaden access, cut generation costs and reduce dependence on costly fuel imports and legacy power-producer arrears that have dragged the sector in recent years. Where nuclear sits in Ghana’s energy picture (timelines and status) Alongside that renewables push, Gha...
