“…Again, retaining the viewpoint of uniqueness of each country is paramount. Country-level policy on on-grid versus off-grid electrification may differ markedly; Ghana is an example of a country that has historically insisted on maximising grid buildout as opposed to relying on off-grid solutions (and reaching comparatively high access rates in the process) (Ibrahim et al 2023); whereas Mali, for instance, has a higher share of people using off-grid electricity than people relying on the grid, though also a much lower overall electrification rate than Ghana (Logan and Han 2022).…”

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of research on African energy transitions and pinpoints critical questions that require answering to allow science-based policymaking. It highlights unique elements of energy transitions research in the African context and explains why these need deeper research to enable decisions informed by clear and objective country-specific analysis. In doing so, it pinpoints clear areas of future research that are urgently needed at the country-level to enable science-informed policy to support sustainable economic development.

In modern technology and systems modeling, electric energy forecasting is extremely vital in gaining effective application of energy policies. This model is formulated after a thorough study of the power load conditions of Ghana as well as the factors that affect domestic electricity demand of supply in the Country was conducted. In Ghana, the LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) forecast model is officially applied for electricity demand and projection of power supply which comes with forecasting errors. Thus, there exists a crucial need to develop a forecasting model for the best energy policies formulation and consequent minimization of overall forecasting error compared to the LEAP model. Results from the quantitative classical multiplicative decomposition forecast model is comparatively precise with a reduced forecast error margin between − 5–4.5% compared to an existing prediction error margin viz., 1% to -11%. By virtue of the proposed study, accurate forecasting of power loads, improvement in utilization of electrical equipment, economies of scale and reduction in production cost can be attained. It is also essential to optimize power system resources for the attainment of energy conservation and overall reduction in emissions.
