The Institute of Energy Security (IES) has intensified its advocacy for the government to make renewable energy a critical component of Ghana’s power mix.

Ghana has so far failed to meet its initial target of universal electricity access by 2020 and also failed to meet its 10 percent deployment of renewable energy by 2020 target.

However, the government pushed for the passage of the Bui Power Authority Bill last year to empower the Bui Power Authority to develop renewable energy and other clean energy alternatives in the country as part of its commitment towards achieving the set goal.

But in an interaction with Citi Business News, a Research Analyst at the IES, Fritz Moses, suggested several options the government can explore to develop a cheaper and environmentally friendly option in the country.
