Energy policymaking in Ghana exhibits complexities common to developing countries. Before 1990, energy policies focused on government owned and managed hydropower and diesel electricity generation and regulation of the electricity sector. Since then, emphasis has been placed on diversifying generation sources, electricity access, technical and economic regulations, involvement of the private sector, and passage of a renewable law and domestication of Ghana’s natural gas for power production. Notwithstanding, Ghana still faces many challenges which include: meeting the targets for renewable energy laid out in an ambitious master plan; poor financial performance of state power companies; fuel insecurity; and expensive sole-sourced procurement practices. Recent discovery of oil offshore and international climate policy increased the complexity of energy policymaking in Ghana.
