Can Climate Cooperation accelerate the uptake of solar energy in Ghana?

With access to carbon finance through climate cooperation in line with the Paris Agreement, the uptake of solar energy and energy storage in Ghana can be accelerated”. The project in Ghana is the first Swedish project that goes through procurement to implementation under the Paris Agreement framework.

Does Ghana have solar energy?

Ghana currently has less than one percent solar energy in its electricity mix. With access to carbon finance through climate cooperation in line with the Paris Agreement, the uptake of solar energy and energy storage in Ghana can be accelerated”.

Will solar panels reduce CO2e in Ghana?

The project will lead to the installation of roof-mounted solar panels with battery storage for commercial and industrial facilities across Ghana. This will displace the use of diesel-powered backup generators and grid electricity, reducing emissions by approximately 165 000 metric tons of CO2e by 2030. A similar solar panel project in Ghana.

Will Sweden finance a solar energy project in Ghana?
