Fig. 2: Ghana’s power system investment options considered in the proposed equity-informed design process.
From: Delivering equity in low-carbon multisector infrastructure planning
a–c Ghana’s power system infrastructure expansion is considered in the design process. d The regions of Ghana are defined based on equally sized populations (to quantify the electricity access Gini index). The irrigation and municipal water supply Gini indices are calculated between the northern (Northeast, Northwest, and Ashanti) and southern regions (Lower Southeast, Upper Southeast, and Southwest) due to the limited spatial data of nodes of irrigation and municipal water demands. The bar and segment colours in (a) and (b) correspond to the regions with the same colours in (d). GW stands for gigawatts. The map in (d) is based on data from Ghana Statistical Services (GSS).
