Abstract

Energy poverty is a major challenge in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. This issue affects both individual countries like Ghana and sub-regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, as low economic growth and the resulting negative externalities on economic development are ascribed in part to a lack of access to electricity. According to the literature, Sub-Saharan Africa is home to around 75% of the present one billion poor people who do not have access to contemporary forms of energy such as electricity (Anuga & Njenga, 2022). As a result, it is critical for nations in SSA to address concerns about energy poverty, which have been linked to negative political, economic, and social outcomes (Asongu & Odhiambo, 2020a, 2020b; Koomson & Danquah, 2021).
