In 2020, most of the electricity generated in Ghana was transmitted to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). The latter is the main supplier of electricity services in the country, through which over 12.6 thousand gigawatt hours of energy were consumed. To follow, Northern Electricity Distribution Company Limited (NEDCo) was responsible for around 1.6 thousand gigawatt hours of electrical energy supply. Overall, the total electricity consumed in Ghana amounted to approximately 19.7 thousand gigawatt hours in that year.

As of 2021, over 86 percent of the population in Ghana had access to electricity, which represented an increase compared to the 85.4 percent registered in the previous year. Between 2008 and 2021, the share of the population with access to electricity rose considerably from a low of 60.5 percent to the said value in 2021. Access to electricity is higher in urban areas compared to rural communities. Production of electricity Ghana's electricity is produced from sources such as fossil fuels, solar power, water, gas, and coal. For instance, in 2020, around 57,000 kilowatt hours net of electricity was sourced from solar energy. In total, the country produced approximately 12.5 billion kilowatt hours of electrical energy in 2020. Compared to a decade before, the generation of electricity increased. Electricity contributes to trade and economy Ghana not only produces electricity, but also serves as an important supplier among neighboring countries such as Togo, Benin, and Mali. In 2020, around 187 million kilowatt hours of electrical energy were exported from the country. However, the rate of delivery declined in comparison to previous years. Electricity contributed an estimated 2.1 billion Ghanaian cedis - approximately 360 million U.S. dollars - to Ghana’s GDP in 2020.

The estimated average electric power consumption per capita in Ghana is projected to reach 414.77 kilowatt hours by 2025.

In 2022, Ghana's energy supply reached an approximate volume of 12.3 million metric tons of oil equivalent. In the preceding year, the energy delivery stood at roughly 11.8 million metric tons of oil equivalent, following the generally increasing trend observed since 2015. By comparison, the total primary energy produced in Ghana amounted to around 14.9 million metric tons of oil equivalent in 2022.

Since 1978, major power sector projects have been carried out in Ghana. Among these, 37.16 million Units of Account (UA), the highest amount, was committed to the Electricity Distribution System Reinforcement and Extension project, approved in 2014 and scheduled to be completed in July 2022. Moreover, around 19.5 million UA have been committed to the Ghana Mini Grid and Solar PV Net Metering project, approved in January 2022 and planned to be completed in December 2024. According to the source, this project involves the development of 35 mini-grids in the Volta Lake region and the deployment of 12,000 units of roof-mounted net-metered solar PV systems for public institutions, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), and selected households within the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO) networks.
