Long-term energy system modelling in developing countries: an open-source optimization approach for energy transition analysis in Ghana

Abstract

The open-source energy modelling tool (OSeMOSYS) was used to assess 4 scenarios accounting for current policies and additional alternatives to pursue energy transition goals. The results indicate that total power generation and installed capacity would increase across all scenarios, with natural gas playing a key role.

This article is part of the Climate Compatible Growth programme.
