ABSTRACT The Ghanaian government initiated its policy on power sector reform in 1995 to engender both structural and regulatory changes in the electricity market. Due to attainment of certain objective of the sector reform, some restructuring in the electricity market has been observed since the reform years. Other goals underpinning the sector reform such as the 100% national access to electricity are yet to be realized. About 30% of the Ghanaian population still lack access to electricity. This is despite the availability of renewable energy resources in Ghana and its potential for substantially increasing electricity generation capacity, which in turn, would help secure the supply of electricity. This paper examines the role of renewable energy in the power sector reform of Ghana and how the power sector reform of 1995 has contributed to the development of renewable energy law and policy in the country. Regulatory and structural changes that resulted from the power sector reform has contributed to the development of renewable energy law and policy in Ghana even though the potential for generating electricity from renewable energy resource in Ghana was overlooked during the power sector reform period.

可再生能源和电力:加纳电力部门改革与可再生能源法律与政策关系的回顾

摘要加纳政府于1995年启动了电力部门改革政策,以实现电力市场的结构性和监管性变化。由于实现了部门改革的某些目标,自改革以来,电力市场已经出现了一些重组。支持部门改革的其他目标,例如100%的全国电力供应,尚未实现。加纳约30%的人口仍无法获得电力。尽管加纳有可再生能源资源,而且有潜力大幅增加发电能力,这反过来将有助于确保电力供应。本文研究了可再生能源在加纳电力部门改革中的作用,以及1995年的电力部门改革如何为加纳可再生能源法律和政策的发展做出了贡献。尽管在电力部门改革期间忽视了由加纳的可再生能源发电的潜力,但电力部门改革导致的监管和结构变化促进了加纳可再生能源法律和政策的发展。
