Monney said Ghana is implementing policies that would help it achieve “100 per cent universal energy access”.
“So, we are working on all these things to make sure that the power system of Ghana continues to be as good as it is or even better, and then, maybe, we can be exporting more to our big brothers in Nigeria when the grid is finally settled.
“So, ladies and gentlemen, this is an overview of the Ghana power system and challenges.”
Nigeria is facing large-scale power issues which is discouraging investments in the country.
