  why not emphasize solar, or is it because of the thermal energy cartel?

  I think the writer did very well by providing solutions in his recommendations. Truly, looking at all the factors raised, it doesn't make sense the tariff should be increasing more frequently as we are seeing now.

  I have been reading discussions of electricity pricing in Ghana, and I am surprised that:
  1. very little is said about moving towards renewables like solar & wind, Ghana has a lot of potential for both,
  2. continuing from above, we should start evaluating the feasibility of mini grids based on deployment of solar and wind - mini grids have been shown to reduce transmission costs.
  2. virtually not discussion of using a pricing structure that encourages efficiency - such pricing models abound and are being used around the world.
  Bottom line, it is time to start investigating these options.
