Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program(SREP)
Ghana’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) is a national initiative aimed at expanding access to clean, affordable, and reliable electricity—especially in remote and off-grid communities. Aligned with the Paris Agreement and Ghana’s Energy Transition goals, the program promotes the use of mini-grids, standalone solar systems, and net metering photovoltaic solutions to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
Through this initiative, SREP aims to contribute 13.5% of renewable energy (excluding hydropower) to the national energy mix, mitigate 0.72 million tons of CO₂, and help achieve universal electricity access by 2030. The project also prioritizes local content, job creation, and gender inclusion—creating over 2,800 jobs, with at least 30% reserved for women and youth.

WITHIN CONTEXT OF
CLIMATE CHANGE
Ghana is a signatory to the Paris Agreement which was adopted in Paris in December 12, 2015. Ghana signed its portion of the agreement, referred to as “Convention” in September 16, 2016 . The Paris Agreement came into force on November 4, 2016. Signatory parties or countries are expected to recognise the need to take measures to limit global temperature rise and enhance resilience to climate change impacts. The “Agreement” allows for developing countries to tailor solutions that are country driven, country specific and gender responsive.
The Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has shown commitment to ensure that its efforts towards combating climate change indeed meet the terms and conditions in the Paris Agreement. The Renewable Energy Masterplan was developed to provide an investment focused framework for the promotion and development of the country’s rich renewable energy resources for sustainable economic growth, contribute to improved social life and reduce adverse climate change effects. Recently, the Ghana Energy Transition Plan, replaced the National Energy Transition Framework and has a target to reduce Ghana’s carbon footprints by achieving zero net emissions by 2060.
The Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) Mini-grid and Net metering Photovoltaic Project is one of the initiatives to help Ghana in this regard. The project objective is to increase access to clean and reliable electricity services and support low carbon socio-economic development. The project is expected to mitigate greenhouse emissions of 0.7185 million tons of CO2 – equivalent through generation of renewable energy estimated at 111MWh annually.
Country Driven, Country Specific, Gender Responsive
Ghana has targeted universal access to electricity by 2030. In light of the above, the Project seeks to support Ghana promote local content and local participation in the renewable energy industry. The project will contribute 13.5 % of renewable energy to the Ghana energy mix excluding hydropower and create up to 2,865 jobs during the construction phase of which 30% will target women and youth.
- • Government of Ghana is thus committed to leveraging SREP resources to help achieve its development goals of universal access to modern energy services and 10% share of renewables in the country’s energy mix.
- • SREP Ghana will propel the future of the country’s socio-economic development through Renewable Energy.
- • The project will contribute 13.5% of renewable energy to the Ghana energy mix excluding hydropower and create up to 2,865 jobs during the construction phase of which 30% will target women and youth.
