RE: Potential Solutions To Our Pressing Challenges In Ghana - Electricity.

in Steem Ghana3 years ago

Solar energy is much priotised in European countries unlike Africa. Sweden has about 50% of its energy from renewable energy sources such solar, hydro, wind energy and so on. The inability to explore and make good use of the available energy resources in Ghana is a very serious problem. The intermittent nature of the hydropower dams( Bui, Kpong , Akosombo) and the thermal energy in Aboadzi affect the economy greatly. One good thing about solar is that , even if the atmosphere is cloudy still light rays pass through and with days of autonomy ,we can store enough energy to the national grid. I hope they pay attention to Navrongo and harness the abundant renewable energy resources to solve the erratic power outages we have experience for many years now. Thank you for creating this awareness. Your post is very informative and rich in content. Thank you for sharing

It is actually sad the amount of power that is going to waste. We could do so much more with our own sources of energy instead of just allowing it to waste away.
