Organisational and personal initiatives to use renewable energy systems. Target group is all off-grid communities in Ghana. The community population should fall within 10-500
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
Most island communities in Ghana are not accessible and not economical for grid electricity. The main cultural barriers are some communities have small gods and do not want any form of electricity because their gods reject to them but other projects like charcoal and firewood improvement systems are acceptable. Mode of payments that are ideal to their situations are always difficult to design.
There are ready markest for renewable energy projects since most of them have been developed in some communities to be seen as working examples. The only one that has not yet taken off completly is small hydropower projects and that is because it is site specific and needs social approval.
All the technologies meet the approved national and international standards.
There are qualified staff and experts to monitor projects from inception to completion and during implementation periods. Local people are trained to take care of the day to day monitoring and minor repairs.
Relevant Publications or Studies
There are already 100 paged survey report covering communities in Ghana without electricity and require renewable energy systems for energy source for lighting and cooking. There will be frequent report writing and publications to create awareness and educational campaign.
