Hydroenergy Potential in Ghana

Identified Medium and Small Hydro Sites of Ghana

Based on this assessment, ACRES International [1991] described the SHP potential of Ghana as “modest”. They concluded inter alia that the development of small hydro in Ghana “could only have a marginal effect on the overall fuel and energy balance of Ghana. They however pointed out that the SHP technology could play a very important role in widening the implementation of rural electrification programmes thereby accelerating the incorporation of otherwise isolated communities into the mainstream of economic and social development.”
