Great news from Ghana! Ghana inaugurates Africa's largest floating solar photovoltaic (PV) project. A growing number of such systems exist in China, France, Indonesia, India, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States. Floating solar is a type of 'Offshore Solar' energy which also includes fixed-bottom foundations. A study from Lappeenranta University of Technology stated that 6,300 TWh of extra electricity could be produced every year from floating solar on hydropower reservoirs worldwide if covering just 25 percent of the water surface. #ghana #westafrica #renewalsenergy #offshoresolar #greenenergy #blueeconomy #satalks #eni #floatingsolar #HR #humancapital #hrbusinesspartner

Projects that provide Sustainable development can some times present a paradox to IAP's, this always highlight the importance of the EIA process and ZEMA's approval before implementing a project.
