Access to electricity is most challenging in the western part of SSA. Data from the World Bank indicates that, as of 2019, more than half of the population of West Africa (51.1%) lacks access to electricity . Further, rural areas, which are home to 49% of the total population of West Africa (WA), had an electrification rate of only 28% .
Further, rural areas, which are home to 49% of the total population of West Africa (WA), had an electrification rate of only 28% . Moreover, the United Nations Development Programme asserts that 11 of the 15 member states in WA are classified under Least Developed Countries .
The results of a feasibility study by Arranz-Piera et al. (2018) to generate electricity using local agricultural residues in rural Ghana supports the earlier assertion . The study showed that it is not profitable for an entrepreneur to self-fund such a project.
The study was limited because only documents written in English were included in the review; hence most of the results were research from Anglophone countries in WA. Overall, the outcome from the review demonstrates that sustainable implementation of RE-based OGPS for rural electrification in WA will be successful if:
