Ghana's experience in power interconnections within the framework of ECOWAS

Abstract

This paper describes Ghana's experience in power and energy exchanges with neighbouring ECOWAS countries. It is clear that Power Interconnections represent an ideal approach in consolidating the economic gains of the sub region. This is the conviction of ECOWAS and is a policy being vigorously explored by member states. Ghana's experience and success in power interconnections during the past twenty-two years of ECOWAS co-operation is a practical demonstration of the fact that power interconnections form a strong basis for economic and industrial growth within the ECOWAS communities.
