Ghana to score universal access of electricity by 2020

Government is positioning itself to ensure a national access and penetration of electricity by 2020.

The current national penetration stands at 76 per cent and it is the second highest in sub-Saharan Africa, Dr Kwabena Donkor, Minister of Power, told Parliament on Thursday.

He was answering questions relating to the Power Ministry from some members of Parliament.

He said some parts of Ghana have been well covered while other parts fall below the lower average level and the Ministry is making a request for additional funding to extend power to those areas.
