Abstract:

The document examines the impact of political involvement in Ghana's energy sector on the country's economy and environment. When politicians make decisions and appoint individuals to key roles in the energy sector based on political affiliations and considerations, it leads to a number of problems such as inefficiency, higher costs, and a lack of focus on solutions or renewable energy sources. The paper provides examples from the past, such as the AMERI power deal and changes in fuel prices, to illustrate how political interference can lead to issues. The problems include inefficient energy u

Africa faces a critical energy challenge characterized by a heavy reliance on fossil fuels, limited electricity access — especially in rural areas - and underinvestment in renewable energy infrastructure. This paper examines the urgency of the energy transition across the continent, using Ghana as a case study. While nations such as Kenya and Ethiopia have advanced in their use of renewable energy, Ghana still relies heavily on fossil fuels due to challenges in infrastructure, national programs, and financing.

PurposeAttaining higher economic growth and development is among the topmost agenda for many countries. However, the process to attain such growth and development involves higher level of energy consumption and that may not spare the quality of the environment. A similar concern has been raised for Ghana as it aims to attain an upper middle-income status in the near future. The country's energy sector has however not been robust in meeting the electricity demand, leading to a recurrent power crisis.

Ghana thought of nuclear energy early in the 1960s but has not been able to realize this dream of generating electricity from nuclear power. Ghana’s electricity generation dates back to the Gold Coast era where the main source of electricity supply (isolated diesel generators) was owned by industrial establishments, municipalities, and other institutions. The electricity sector has developed over the years and has diversified its power generation development to take advantage of available and sustainable sources of energy, mainly hydro, natural gas, liquefied petroleum products, and renewables

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of internal business process metrics on organizational performance in the oil and gas and telecommunications industries of Ghana under the lens of Resource-Based Theory and the Balanced Scorecard. With a mixed-method approach, data from 240 respondents were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrated that the efficiency of internal processes have a significant impact on profitability (β = 0.62, p < 0.01) and market share (β = 0.58, p < 0.01). On the other hand, the analysis showed an insignificant ef

Funding provisions by policy makers are usually for two main purposes including poverty and inequality reduction as well as improvement of the situation for private sector growth. Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999 and has since been pursuing private sector-led growth and development and one of the sectors constituting the focus of the federal government is the energy sector especially the electricity sub-sector. This study analysed federal government spending on the energy sector with special emphasis on the electricity sub-sector to see how this spending has impacted on production, tr

Abstract:

Ghana is experiencing an increase in energy demand as a result of increased industrialization activities. Nonrenewable energy sources, such as combustible fuels like petroleum, are the primary source of energy. Nonrenewable energy resources are associated with a number of issues, including environmental pollution. Renewable energy is a sustainable source of energy that is critical to the energy sector and the economy’s progress. Hydropower, biomass, solar energy, and wind energy are among the renewable energy resources available in Ghana. In Ghana, key institutions are responsible for the mana

Abstract:

Renewable energy is predicted to play a crucial role in the energy sector as transitioning from fossil fuels to biofuels is key to achieving carbon neutrality. The comprehensive utilization of livestock manure and crop residues as a viable source of biofuels can play a significant role in Ghana’s future energy system. This current study aims to examine and predict the biofuel potential in Ghana from animal manure and crop residues. The biogas-biomethane potential of animal manure is determined using anaerobic digestion technology, whereas crop residues’ bioethanol potential is assessed using c

Abstract:

This paper investigates the impact of the new oil sector on the economic performance of major traditional sectors of the Ghanaian economy. The discovery of resource booming sectors in most countries often comes with several opportunities as well as challenges. Ghana discovered oil in 2007 and started subsequent commercial production and export in 2010. The results from the study show that, there is no clear case of declining performance of sectors in terms of output, growth and export earnings as a result of the oil production. The study could also not establish a sustained appreciation in the

The literature on the history of electricity production have studied the evolution of electricity in both developed and developing countries and its impact on their economies. Some have laid foundations upon which other works are carried out. A close examination of the historiography on electricity production in Ghana shows that more efforts are required to improve the electric power landscape in Ghana. From the colonial era, the increasing demand for electricity has been the biggest challenge plaguing the energy sector. Respective governments have made significant strides in ensuring reliable

Abstract:

Purpose Ghana has recently reviewed its renewable energy Act 835 with an objective of providing 10% of its energy from renewables by 2020 (Ackah and Asomani, 2015). Meanwhile, solar Photovoltaic (PV) accounts for less than 2% of the energy mix (Energy Commission, 2018). In combating environmental issues such as climate change and meeting these policy targets, there is the urgent need to increase investment into the renewable sector. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to critically examine the impeding constraints to photovoltaic investment in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach The Literat
