摘要

近年来,很少有国际发展研究领域能像能源获取和低碳转型领域那样发生如此大的转变。加纳和其他非洲经济体一样,在过去十年中,能源需求的增长超过了能源供应。因此,将可再生能源纳入混合能源被视为通过利用当地经济机会用清洁可靠的国内电力取代传统燃料来满足能源需求的重要作用。该国通过了联合国可持续发展目标;可持续发展目标7的目标是确保普遍获得负担得起、可靠和现代化的能源服务。这一目标对加纳来说是一个巨大的挑战,因为该国仍然主要依赖不可再生能源。该国可再生能源潜力巨大,但开发不足。因此,本研究旨在评估当前的可再生能源状况,研究加纳能源消费的趋势,并对加纳的可再生能源驱动力和政策进行全面审查和批判性评估。

Renewable Energy Deployment in Ghana: The Hype, Hope and Reality
Over recent years, few areas of international development research have seen as much transformation as those relating to energy access and low carbon transitions. Ghana, amongst other African economies, has seen an increase in energy demand surpassing the supply of energy in the last decade. The incorporation of the incorporation of renewable energy into the mix is, therefore, seen as a significant role in addressing the energy needs by replacing conventional fuels with clean and reliable domestic electricity with the advantage of local economic opportunities. The country has adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG); SDG goal 7 targets ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services. This target presents a formidable challenge to Ghana because the country still relies mainly on non-renewable energy sources. The country has a huge potential for renewable energy that remains underexploited. This study, therefore, seeks to assess the current renewable energy resource situation, examine the trend in Ghana’s energy consumption and undertake a comprehensive review and critical evaluation of Ghana’s renewable energy drive and policies.
