Ghana: Government opts for nuclear energy

The debate over which energy generating alternatives would best suit Ghana’s long term needs, given the dire challenges engendered in recent times following the failings of the Akosombo Dam, is about resolved.

The government has opted for nuclear energy as the best alternative source of power in a move to avert any future energy crisis in the country.
The Daily Graphic of Wednesday, April 11 reports that the decision to go for nuclear was taken after consultations between Cabinet and officials of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission according.

Consequently, the government would hold a press conference on April 19, 2007 to outline the measures it would take to bring the project to the stream, Graphic quotes its sources as saying.
