In order to determine whether to develop a 700MW Super Critical Coal Power Project, the Government of Ghana has prepared and submitted a scoping report for review by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of that country. The latter has requested the NCEA to assist in the reviewing of the EIS and this scoping report.
Significant details
For this purpose the NCEA performed a short desk review of the scoping report, a so-called NCEA 'Advice of the secretariat'. In this review the NCEA focused on the proposed technology choices 1) in light of Ghana’s energy and climate policies and 2) given the wide availability of cleaner technology to produce electricity.
