National Energy Policy.

The policy serves as a roadmap for the development and management of the country's energy sector, particularly focusing on the emerging oil and gas industry following significant discoveries in 2007. The policy outlines various goals and challenges within different sub-sectors, such as power generation, transportation, and renewable energy. One of the key objectives is for Ghana to become a major exporter of power in the sub-region by 2015, achieved through capacity addition and modernization of infrastructure. Challenges include sustaining power generation capacity expansion, securing reliable and affordable fuel for thermal power plants, increasing electricity access in rural areas, achieving cost recovery despite low incomes, and reducing power system losses. The policy emphasizes attracting private investments to support public sector efforts in improving and expanding infrastructure, with a focus on increasing installed generation capacity and developing hydroelectric projects.
