So we need cheap power to be able to power this smelter, but our hydro dam is now supporting the grid and if you want to get a cheap power then you have to build cool. But this is not the way forward because the core technology means we are. Eroding our energy transition targets. So now in order to close the aluminum chain, you have to build refineries and they will need steam and that you will get from nuclear and you will need a cheaper source of power so that you will be will not be able to export our raw, I mean both sides, but we were able to reprocess it and add value to rate for industrial group. We have a lot of iron ore because of power. We've not even tap it at all. Because we need cheap power. Lithium is in now, but then the legislation is that before you, you come into my lithium, you have to build a refinery. But you so need cheap power to do that. So all this has created the environment for us to access, I mean, clean energy. But this is good value addition and that is going to, I mean, improve the lives of the people for the West African sub region. We have a W African great, but because of the cost of electricity, people are not able to I mean import power from other countries. But if you we won't we there is, I would say the opportunity to be able to capture the West African sub region because energy poverty is there. Everybody wants power for industrialization, but they don't have the money to build fresh power plants. So if you take advantage of Ghana, which is ideal country for the first power plant to be in the sub region. I made the whole West Africa is yours.

🔴 [ Special week: access to energy in Africa- Day1 ] #Nigeria, the most populous country on the African continent with over 218 million inhabitants, is still a long way from achieving universal access to electricity, especially in rural areas. In recent years, the authorities have been focusing on autonomous solar systems. This policy will be discussed this week at the Energy Access Investment Forum (#EAIF 2024) in #Lagos.

Excellent analysis from Africa Centre for Energy Policy - certain worth reading for anyone interested in #ghana and African energy sector reforms and related practical recommendations. Key quote: "Despite substantial investments in power distribution infrastructure, technical and commercial losses in Ghana’s power sector have risen from 24% to about 30% between 2014 and 2021. This occurrence underscores the urgent need for comprehensive reforms and improved management practices in power distribution." In other words: Major reforms have already taken place, but lots of work remains; not least in the continent-wide challenge area of losses. This is not just about making public utilities viable; it's as much about efficient energy use and #climatechange Marcus Courage Wilfred (Wilf) Mwamba Dave Beer Acha Leke

The answere may be to open traditionally government roles to private participants, I think we need to acknowledge that the current model is not working. In the past it has worked for the telecom sector which has seen massive market penetration, consider what it might do for electricity? We are seeing minigrids with pay-as-you go models, borrowing from the likes of telecoms and think we'll see more progress in this space.
