The Ghana Nuclear Regulatory Authority (GNRA) has said that nuclear energy is the best option for ensure a sustainable electricity supply for the country. Professor Kwame Aboh, acting Director General of the GNRA, said that the authority would ensure that the country went through the globally accepted process to adopt nuclear energy. He said: “Ghana is making progress systematically because we do not want to sort-circuit anything, so at every stage we invite the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to evaluate our progress.”

Aboh predicted that Ghana’s nuclear programme will generate electricity by 2029, with the first plants adding 2400 MW to the national grid.
