Ghana LAUNCHES 1 GW Solar INDUSTRIAL Push

Key Figures & Findings: Solar for Industries (SFI), a subsidiary of LMI Holdings, has begun construction on the first phase of the Norbert Anku solar project in Ghana: the country’s largest-ever renewable energy development and one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest outside South Africa. The project is located in the Dawa Industrial Enclave, positioning it to deliver discounted power to major industrial users. The project is supported by backers including the World Bank’s IFC, Enclave Power Company, and China International Water & Electric Corporation.

Statistics & Insights:

• Total Capacity Goal: 1 GW (1,000 MW) by 2032.

• • Initial Timeline: The first 100 MW phase is scheduled to be commissioned by December 2026, with the next 100 MW following by September 2027.

• Incentive: The project offers power to other industrial projects in the Dawa Industrial Enclave at a 10% discount."

Future Implications: If delivered on schedule, the project could redefine Ghana’s energy mix by 2032, expand industrial competitiveness through cheaper power, and accelerate the country’s transition from fossil dependence.
