Nachhaltige Transformation des Energiesektors Sustainable Transfortmation of the energy sector Hohe technische und kommerzielle Verluste hemmen die Effizienz des ghanaischen Energiesektors. Dies ist unter anderem auf den schlechten Zustand der Übertragungsnetze zurückzuführen. Insbesondere im Süden Ghanas sind die Stromleitungen überlastet. Mittelfristig wird dies vor allem in urbanen Hubs wie Accra und Kumasi vermehrt zu Stromausfällen und einer unzuverlässigeren Stromversorgung führen.Zeitgleich sieht der Renewable Energy Master Plan die deutliche Steigerung der Erzeugungskapazitäten aus erneuerbaren Energien vor. Eine dezentrale Erzeugung, veränderte Stromflüsse, fortschreitende Elektrifizierung und eine stark zunehmende Variabilität in der Erzeugung aufgrund natürlicher Bedingungen erfordern eine robuste Netzinfrastruktur. Das bedeutet, dass der Ausbau von erneuerbaren Energien nur umsetzbar ist, wenn zeitgleich auch in den Ausbau und die Modernisierung von Stromnetzen investiert wird. Durch den Bau der 330 kV Übertragungsleitung von Accra nach Kumasi wird ein Beitrag zu einer effizienten, verlässlichen und klimaverträglichen Stromversorgung, sowie zur Netzstabilität geleistet und somit eine nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung ermöglicht. Durch den Ausbau des Stromnetzwerks profitieren private Haushalte, öffentliche Institutionen, sowie Unternehmen direkt von einer verbesserten und verlässlichen Stromversorgung. Das Projekt wird gemeinsam mit GRIDCo als Projektträger umgesetzt. The poor condition of Ghana's power transmission grid negatively impacts the efficiency of the country's energy sector. In the medium term, electricity supply will become increasingly unreliable and black outs more frequent. Especially urban hubs in the country's South like Accra and Kumasi already suffer from the effects of overburdened power supply lines. Without any investments into the grid infrastructure, those effects are further going to be exacerbated in the near future. Simultaneously, the Renewable Energy Master Plan aims at substantially increasing the country's electricity generation capacity from renewable sources. A decentralized generation, altered electricity flows, increased electrification, as well as a naturally intensified electricity generation variability require a stable and robust grid infrastructure. Hence, the construction of the 330 kV transmission line is a necessary pre-condition for the successful implementation of the Renewable Energy Master Plan. It further contributes to an efficient, sustainable, and climate-friendly electricity supply, as well as to an increased grid stability and consequently to the country's sustainable economic development. Private households, public institutions, as well as companies are directly going to benefit from an improved and more reliable power supply. The project will be implemented in cooperation with GRIDCo as the main project executing agency.
