Ghana: Sending Consistent FIT Policy Signals

The Clean Energy Solutions Center, via its Ask an Expert service, partnered with the Ghana Energy Commission on the design and development of a FIT by sharing FIT design resources and best practices. To ensure consistent policy signals, Ghana’s FIT established a fixed, 10-year tariff rate from the time of power purchase agreement that varies by technology and is subject to review every two years. The collaborative effort facilitated both effectiveness and speed of policy development and eventual policy implementation that will encourage scaled-up deployment of renewable energy in Ghana.
