Nuclear Energy,Africa,Energy Demand

Ghana's pursuit of nuclear energy to meet its growing electricity demand and become a regional energy exporter has attracted the interest of global nuclear powers, setting the stage for a geopolitical battleground in the African energy sector.

Global superpowers are circling as Ghana prepares to build its first nuclear power plant. The small nation is poised for a major uptick in electricity demand over the next few years, and has grand plans to become a net exporter of energy to other nations within the African continent. Ghana plans for nuclear energy to play a significant role in achieving those targets.

Nuclear energy could provide a critical stop-gap in helping Africa to ‘leap-frog’ over the traditional next step in economic development – the indiscriminate consumption of cheap and available fossil fuels – straight to a decarbonized electric grid.
