Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency

About this project

Within the framework of the G20 Africa Partnership, Germany and Ghana aim to deepen cooperation in the field of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) promotion, which should contribute to achieving the goals set under the Compact with Africa (CwA) (promotion of private investment, renewable energy, and employment and vocational training).

We estimate the total cost of the FC programme at EUR 135 million (FC loan) and EUR 10 million grant for the complementary measure. FC loan funds of EUR 85 million and FC grant funds of EUR 10 million are available to finance the first phase of the reform p…
