Ghana Officially Bans Grid Streetlights as Government Pushes Solar Energy

Ghana has announced a policy to stop the installation of grid-powered streetlights, with solar-powered streetlights now being prioritised as part of efforts to reduce electricity consumption and promote renewable energy.

The move is expected to support Ghana’s energy conservation and sustainability goals while reducing pressure on the national power grid. Solar streetlights could also help lower long-term electricity and maintenance costs for public lighting infrastructure.

The policy forms part of broader efforts to promote renewable energy in Ghana, improve energy efficiency and encourage the adoption of clean energy solutions across the country.
