Generation Potential Resource: BIOMASS RESOURCE
• Biomass energy accounts for 50% of Africa’s totalprimary energy supply, and about 60% in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Biomass resources cover about 20.8 millionhectares of the 23.8 million hectare land mass ofGhana and supply about 64% of the total energyused in the country.

Generation Potential Resource: BIOMASS RESOURCE
It has been estimated that there are 553,000 tonnesof maize cob and stalk produced with a potentialenergy of 17.65-18.77 MJ/kg and 19 tonnes ofpaddy rice husks with a potential energy of 16.14MJ/kg.
As well, 193,000 tonnes of oil palm shells, 136,000tonnes of sorghum stalks, 150,000 tons of milletstalks and 56,000 tonnes of groundnut shells
• The waste generation per day in thecity is about 0.6 kg/person

Barriers to RE UtilizationThe barriers to renewable energy exploitation inGhana include:
• higher electricity costs compared to the non-renewably-sourced electricity
• compatibility with existing transmission and distributionnetworks
• the remoteness of resources from key electricity demandsectors
• technological immaturity
• institutional inexperience and the lack of skilled technicalmanpower to oversee renewable energy projects

RE Policies
•Regulatory Framework
Renewable Energy Act, 2011 (Act 832)
•To stimulate massive investment into the renewable energy sector.

RE PoliciesThe recently passed Renewable Energy Act to generate 10% of the country’s electricity from RE sources by the year 2020.
Some Specific policies has been introduced:
• feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme which is made up of feed-in-tariff rates
• mandatory purchase of electricity generated from renewable sources
• free access to the distribution and transmission systems
• creation of the Renewable Energy Fund dedicated to the promotion development of the renewable energy sub-sector in Ghana (monies accrued shall be used for financial incentives, capital subsidies, promotion of
-Scientific, technological and innovative research into renewable energy.
–research into the establishment of standards for the utilisation of renewable energy.
–the production or fabrication of equipment for the development and utilisation of renewable energy in the country.
• Capacity building

Conclusion
• It is very feasible to meet energy demand gap and sustained spinning margin with RE systems.
• Strategic policies to meet the demand short fall is elaborate but IMPLEMENTATION????????
• Sun is going to shine for another billion years.That means solar energy is renewable andsustainable. Moving water and strong windswill continue to supply constant source ofenergy with less pollution….THE WAY TO GO!!!! 31
