Description: Ghana has been remarkably successful in extending its national grid into the rural areas. According to the Ministry of Power, around 80% of communities with more than 500 people have access to grid electricity. The main remaining frontier is to bring electricity to communities living on islands in Lake Volta and in isolated lakeside locations. The objectives of the study are to assist in this in four main areas: delivery models, tariff frameworks, policies and a regulatory framework, and arrangements for the rollout of mini-grids.
