Ghana has launched its National Clean Energy Program (NCEP) to expand the deployment of rooftop solar systems. The initiative is a collaboration between the country’s Ministry of Energy and Green Transition and the Klik Foundation, a Swiss-based carbon offset group.
The initiative, led by Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, will channel $200 million in Swiss investments to deploy approximately 4,000 new rooftop solar systems with a combined capacity of 137 MW. Details shared by the Swiss Embassy in Ghana say the funding will flow through the Klik Foundation, a carbon offset organization that supports verified emissions reduction projects.
Information on the foundation’s website shows that the NCEP will support both residential and commercial installations for self-use. Grants are paid post-installation, with additional performance-based payments linked to emissions reductions achieved. The foundation said a fully digital system will track measurement, reporting and verification for each installation.
Ghana announced plans in March to establish a renewable energy investment fund to attract private capital for clean energy.
According to the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), Ghana currently operates 188 MW of installed solar capacity, including 66 MW of commercial and industrial systems. The country aims for renewable energy sources to supply 10% of its electricity supply by 2030. The Voluntary National Review 2025 reported that non-hydro-renewable energy sources currently make up less than 3% of the national energy mix.
