What will be bold and transformative is the establishment of a solar manufacturing base in Ghana. We can then cover the Bui and Akosombo Dam in panels to achieve that 2kMW.

@Nana Addo, my bro, you are too myopic and short sighted to ask such a question. For your information, it has started happening now. Just Google Bui dam solar farm and see.

How much is coming from the Bui solar farm after 8 years in power with so much money gone down the drain? Bawumia is just like Akufo Addo, flamboyant promises with nothing to show

did this guy ever read the NDC energy policy on solar ? to equipment and part finance 200,000 homes in Ghana with 1000kw solar ? Really i do not know what is wrong with the NDC but they are bereft of communicating their own agenda abandoned by this senseless government. Fact is , where would we be if this agenda which was actually started was continued. Bawumia is only throwing dust into our eyes again.

Bawumia has been in power 8 years now. He had all the money from taxes a d loans to do better than the NDC did in 4 years under Mahama. Infact if he was mindful, he'd have continued with the1000kw solar farm John Mahama started, instead of telling us stories. Of your own party and govt members do lot listen to you as the 2nd gentleman of the land, what do u think they'd do if u appoint them under another government with you as the president?

What is stopping Bawumia from helping his helpless old Akufo Addo out? If he really can't do that now, then he is wicked and selfish. NPPig!!!

From an almost 0MW solar generation standpoint, in a country with no access to financial markets, this promise will not be possible and you academics should be bold to call out such hollow promises. We are tired of your ways

Dr bawuliar can promise the moon, we don't care. Enough of him and his father. If he understood what we are going through he won't even have the audacity to present himself to be elected. If he had any sense of honesty he would have allowed someone else to stand. All his actions point to dishonesty, greed and wickedness. He doesn't love Ghana or its people. May God have great mercy on us ordinary citizens and save us from him and his cohorts. He has nothing good for us. We want the old npp back, not this selfish wicked lot.

The trouble with solar and other renewables on a national scale is that new grids are required to recieve and transmit the electricity generated. This alone requires millions of dollars of investment. On the basis of this alone, solar energy in the short time cannot be cheaper than conventional energy. The real gains are in the long term. Is Ghana willing to make this sacrifice for long term gain ?

So what happened to the excess capacity?
The high cost of power in Ghana is because of thievery and mismanagement. It's not about capacity. This crooked NPP government blamed the NDC for making provisions for excess capacity. And now you are going solar to further increase our capacity. Does that make sense to you. Now everything is about Bawumia, who claimed he has no constitutional mandate to government this country because he is like drivers mate. Which drivers mate talk as if he is the president. You guys deliberately crashed the economy, peoples businesses just because you illegally involved in state capture. Instead of investing in agriculture, you are wasting the money on the power sector which we know has excess capacity. Why not just buy diesel to power the idling power plants.
We know this attempt is not to provide cheap power to Ghanains but the Npp to capture the power sector of the economy.

Dr. Acheampong I'm surprised you are praising a mere pronouncement by somebody who is known to be making empty promises. Why is his government not implementing that policy for the past 7 years. Look, Dr. anybody can say that, it is very simple and nobody charges you anything. Sky train, railway from Accra to Paga, one village one dam, factory in every district, airports in Cape Coast etc are but a few of these lofty promises made by Bawumia and his boss, which have never seen the light of day. So don't be carried away.

Cash out time, Bawumia is paying big for fake positive reviews of his empty policy propositions, it will not work this time around! Franklin Cudjoe the IMANI boss has disappered from facebook, probably after his criticism of NPP has earned him big payout. It doesn't matter who they hire to do their PR, it will not work! #24HourEconomy is what we want! and #JM2024 is the man!
