Ghana Energy Transition and Investment Plan
If the plan is achieved in full, it would generate 400,000 net jobs within Ghana''s economy. The country''s existing Energy Transition Framework previously set a target of net zero by 2070, but this new plan shows Ghana has increased its ambition and is targeting net zero by 2060. Various sectoral changes and technologies are proposed in the plan.
Ghana
The Scaling-up Renewable Energy Programme (SREP) is a major multi-donor initiative to leverage financial resources and catalyse private investment in renewable energy solutions. The Government of Ghana (GoG) received approval for its SREP Investment Plan (SREP-IP): document SREP/SC.13/4, SREP Investment Plan for Ghana and Grant Financing
