Ghana is another good case in point. There are rolling blackouts and food shortage through out the country, partly caused by goverment mismanagement, but also the EU, WEF and the IMF forcing green policies onto the country, the cost of which are horrendus
"Ghana is overproducing energy and is paying dearly for it. 2019 saw a new peak demand of some 2,781MW (including the little exported to neighbouring countries) whilst the current dependable capacity stands at around 4,700MW (installed capacity is higher still). Ghana is paying in the region of US$1 billion annually for this excess capacity with more projects nearing completion in the next 12 months that will add at least another US$500 million to that bill. According to several opinions expressed at the renewable energy fair, this translates into USD0.13 /14 per kilowatt-hour just in charges paid to independent power producers (IPPs) for not producing.The government’s own predictions are that the total cost could reach US$12.5 billion by 2023.
