Plugging the Power Deficit Presents Opportunities for
Ghana to Export Electrical Power to Neighbours
Power supply disruptions, which negatively impacted economic output, occurred due to (i) damage to the
West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP), (ii) seasonal drop of water at dams, and (iii) increased demand as
electricity access improved
In 2015, Ghana successfully implemented a series of short-term and longer horizon projects which
effectively addressed power shortfalls and now contributing to realization of Ghana's growth potential
Supported by World Bank, AfDB, USA and
independent power producers, Ghana is
pursuing a programme of liberalising the
energy sector, which includes:
✓ Institutional reforms
✓ Getting energy SOEs more commercially
oriented and financially self-sustaining
New independent power projects

Energy Levies - Ensuring
Financial Viability of
Ghana's Energy SOES
TRIC
GHANA
AUTHORITY
GRIDCO
The SOEs in the energy sector
have faced financial challenges
that have affected their viability
■This necessitated the
introduction of the energy
sector levies which goes
directly into Ministry of
Finance's account- the game
changer for financial
sustainability for the sector
Revenues for all energy sector
SOEs to be centrally collected
by PURC with debt repayments
prioritized
The sustainable financing will
improve energy production and
supply, thereby, promoting
growth and protect jobs
■ The levies imposed are
intended to be temporary
■ Government recently
reduced electricity tariffs for
lifeline consumers and other
vulnerable groups to
cushion them
■ Utility and fuel subsidies
eliminated
