This article examines how Ghana’s energy policy promotes large-scale deployment of renewable electricity. Using a qualitative assessment framework adapted from Yoon and Sim (2015), the study makes broad investigations into how effectively Ghana has implemented its policy for large-scale renewable electricity deployment. The paper concludes that the country’s RE success is nominal and most likely would not meet its 10% by 2020 target; the assessment reveals that Ghana’s performance in promoting renewable electricity deployment is satisfactory. Particularly, the progress in how it has committed itself to applying its recent generation-based policies in spite of the numerous challenges that confront the electricity sector. Ghana is currently implementing 7 out of 11 of the world’s most popular RE promotion policies.
