Grantee Description
Host institution: Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana.
Area of research: Energy Use: Electricity and Climate Change.
Research focus: Nigeria desires a transformation with adequate provision for needed infrastructure, including electricity, for development. This calls for adequate understanding of the trade-offs needed between economic growth and development on the one hand and climate change issues on the other hand. Conceptualising and implementing these trade-offs requires a systemic approach with different planning paradigms from what used to be the norm in the power sector. To achieve the same development objectives with lower future emissions the study aims to identify and test a series of mitigation options of low-carbon development options as they relate to the power sector.
