A practical and immediate solution is to institute a dedicated grid expansion levy. An average contribution of GH¢100 per electricity customer monthly, roughly $8, if properly structured and ring-fenced, could raise significant capital every year. This is not about increasing tariffs arbitrarily. It is about creating a disciplined, transparent pool of funds solely for expanding generation and upgrading transmission and distribution infrastructure.

A proposal advocates for a dedicated grid expansion levy of GH¢100 per electricity customer monthly. This levy, estimated at $8, would create a ring-fenced fund specifically for expanding electricity generation and upgrading transmission and distribution infrastructure. The aim is to provide a transparent funding source without arbitrarily increasing general tariffs.
