Achieving 10% renewables in Ghana’s energy: RE4CC in the Frontline [Article]

Ghana is embracing a renewable energy revolution that is poised to transform the nation’s energy landscape.

From the challenges of energy access to the legal framework supporting renewable energy and the grassroots community engagement spearheaded by RE4CC, we delve into the stories that illuminate Ghana’s path toward a greener and brighter tomorrow.

While Ghana’s legal framework for renewable energy is comprehensive, challenges and gaps still exist.

Blessed with abundant solar, wind, hydro, and biomass resources, the nation stands at the precipice of a renewable energy revolution that promises to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and extend the transformative power of electricity to even the remotest corners.

The RE4CC (Renewable Energy for Communities Coalition) is at the forefront of Ghana’s renewable energy revolution

Launched after the victory to stop the construction of the 700 MW coal-powered station in Ekumfi Regional and Central region of Ghana, the campaign tries to get the Ghanaian government to commit to investing in renewable energy as a solution to Ghana’s energy challenges

Through training, exhibition, processions, advocacy, and policy review, the RE4C team created a platform for women and young people to become Renewable Energy Champions to enhance the achievement of 10% Renewable energy in Ghana’s energy mix in 2030.
