Loook at the fool - connecting 30,000 household per year - South Sudan do more than that,
Kenya connect about 1.5m household annually - ABOUT HALF YOUR ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD CONNECTED
Kenya has for the last few years had the WORLD FASTEST electrification
And this despite being largely rural.

Kenya connectivity pace is also among top three fastest across the globe, alongside Afghanistan and Cambodia. The three countries have electrified their populations at annual rates exceeding seven percent since 2010, way above the global average electrification rate of 0.3 percent.29 May 2020

Remember kenya in 2005 had only 12% electrification with 0.4m customers in the grid.

Now the figure is more than 8M household connected to the grid...all achieved in 15yrs.

We can achieve universal electricity access in 3yrs.

You are such a fool


I thought you said Ghana only connect communities and without connecting the houses ....


I just give you a report from the Eastern Region of Ghana where 400 communities were connected and all the 30 000 homes in them where given free meters and connected to the grid.

Those are just the communities connected to the grid in Eastern Region alone, Ghana has 16 regions.


Out of the 3 million people who didn't have electricity as at 2018 in Ghana, 1.5 million of them were connected to the grid.

That's leaves a few communities with a combine population of 1.5 million for Ghana to reach universal access.

rvp2018:
There goes the liar. You already paid 470M dollars. The Arabs are willing to forgive 2m dollars for smuggling your gold.
This worse deal - you're paying the cost of building the plant - after AMERI had made a fortune in 5yrs.
Remember you were paying 2m dollars for every MW>
This is why you've been bankrupt record 17 times!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look like you had to fire the Energy minister for signing one most lopsided deals
https://www.africa-energy.com/article/ghana-energy-minister-fired-over-new-ameri-deal

why do you lie so badly like that?

Now you want me to explain what BOOT agreements are to you?

The Arabs who were then owning the plant have operated it for 5 years and recouped all their monies and have handed the facility to the government of Ghana at no cost just like the contracts stipulated.

IN the power purchasing agreement with ECG, Ameri will be paid 8.5 million dollars for the energy it produces per month for 5 years.

We didn't pay a cent for the plant but for the energy it produced for 5 years at market rate.

That is a smart move.

The snapshot from the agreements is below

rvp2018:
We already know MOP is measuring community access - nobody really give a damn about that kind of nonsense.
It seem GSS does a better job.
We wait for your delayed census - The MINI ZOO - may never afford it - to know what accurate electricity access.
In 2010 - you were at 65% or around.

Kenya has religiously held census every 10yrs without fail.

This what give your ACCURATE data - not feel good nonsense of community access to electricity.

Which explain why Ghana FAILS THE PICTURE TEST. The data looks good - but the reality on the ground as seen on video or pictures - is Chad or Niger or South Sudan.

Funny


Kenya is a backward zoo that is living in darkness

That is why all you communities look underdeveloped with unpaved roads all over. Even including your best.

Ghana's census will happen this year like we always do.

Kenya is on the level of South Sudan and that is why you guys are so poor.

In Ghana when new communities are connected to the Grid, We provide free meters and connection to all homes
In 2020, we connected 400 new communities and all it residence
almost 30,000 meters provided

rvp2018:
http://ggea.net/news/govt-settles-almost-90-of-ameri-power-debt/
This is not BOT = Proper BOT - Build operate and Transfer - for free. This is BOOT = Build, OWN, operate and Transfer.

Ameri invested 500M;
They made money in 5yrs;
And Ghana gov bought the plant back for 500M.

The plant cost US$510 million and it was to be managed by its owners for a period of five years and transferred to the Government of Ghana under the Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) agreement.

The Ameri deal was one of the numbers of power deals signed under the past administration which generated public anger with the then opposition New Patriotic Party accusing that administration of ripping off the nation.

Speaking to energynewsafrica.com, a source at the Ministry of Energy disclosed that a little over US$447 million out of the total figure of US$ $510 million has been paid, representing about 87 per cent as of November 2020.

The Ameri deal was signed on a 5 years BOOT agreement

AMERI operated the plant for 5 years and transferred the plant to Gov't at a cost of 1 dollars.

rvp2018:
Okay I found why you have crazy figures.....I knew something was WRONG. Warning - this is BEYOND YOUR CATHOLIC EDUCATION background,.

EVOLUTION OF GHANA’S ELECTRIFICATION POLICY AND ACCESS TARGETS
Electricity access definitions vary, and indeed there is more than one in Ghana alone. Two
different forms of electricity access definitions are used in Ghana by recognised state institutions:
the Ministry of Power (MoP) and the Ghana Statistical Services (GSS). MoP defines access to
electricity in a community as the total population in the community that has been connected to the
grid, irrespective of the number of households that have connection.
16 By this definition, thepopulation in the particular community is counted as having access to electricity because it is
assumed that they are within reach of the grid and could connect by signing a connection agreement
with the utility whenever they desired and are able to pay the appropriate connection fees. For this
reason, even though MoP estimated electricity access in 2010 to be about 72% (meaning 72% of
Ghana’s population lived in communities with access to the grid), GSS pegged household access to
electricity in 2010 at 64.2%, according to the population and housing census conducted in the same
https://backend.orbit.dtu.dk/ws/portalfiles/portal/138357483/Kemausuor_and_Ackom_draft_23.12.2015.pdf

Conclusion: You have 90% community access to electricity; and about 60% for household in their dwelling places.

This Ghana definition of electricity access is worse than India - at least India define it as staying 50 meters from electricity pole - even if you don't have it in your own house.

[/s]

You are still going around looking for Ghana 2010 74% electricity access rate?



Here is a video for you

Ghana peak demand is quoted at 3500MW
Access rate at 90%


In Ghana when a village pr town is connected to the Grid, Every house is connected to electricity with it own meter by ECG.

That is why we have 90% access rate.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPEqqIFKWzU


In this day and age, more than 50% of Kenyans are still living without electricity.
That is a national disgrace.

And a fool like you come up here making useless noise with nothing to show for it.

rvp2018:
You think just because your blurt out nonsense daily; they somehow become the truth;

I can see you are allergic to truths

When they dont align to the nonsense from your country

To the mad child from Kenya who doesn't know that BOT agreements can be 5 years

This is a BOT agreement for AMERI power plant in Ghana.

The BOT agreement is 5 years and the plant is now owned by Ghana

Pokuasi looking all Glitterati

rvp2018:
I don't see where it say Kenya has been tested. What OECD did was to compare TIMSS (Ghana participate here) and PISA. And Ghana came BOTTOM. BOTTOM. Worse than South Africa and Botswana...with their inferior education.

South Africa, Ghana and Botswana all have superior education than Kenya and it was evident in the OECD report.

They picked the best from Africa to match global standard.

Your sorrowful education is the reason why Kenyans are trooping to Ghana for study

rvp2018:
Household has nothing to do with family.
Household is house with people living in it.
They could be unrelated roommates. - see attached for relationship btw Household Head and rest of the household.
Electricity need to be connected where there are people living in it.
Nobody goes sticking electricity in unoccupied houses.

All we care about is how many of 7M Ghanian household have connected with electricity, water and other utilites.

Long story about number of houses in Ghana (what if they are house for cows or pigs ) will not cover your gov propaganda.

You know you've connected about 4M out 7M.

The rest is laughable.

In Ghana, even unoccupied houses are connected to Electricity.
It's only in Kenya where electricity is connected to human beings to walk around with.

That will look stupid as hell

90% of Ghanaian houses are connected to electricity and 85% to water.



Hope your country can solve it water crisis that has led to only 40% of nairobians being supplied with water whiles less than 50% of kenyans have access to electricity.

IEA kenya exposed your country for it propaganda and backwardness when they released their report last year.

rvp2018:
Again evidence - quoting that from OECD is all we want. Now don't direct me to entire OECD website.

just google Oecd global education test base ranking

rvp2018:
Never seen an idiot that just keep digging Do you sometime listen to yourself.
Household - be it informal or formal - urban or rural - is house that has people living in it
Nobody care about houses - on their own.

JESUS christ Ghana really should kick out the pope from running it's school system

What did they teach you - JESUS christ and holy trinity

I've never met fools this foolish like I've met kenyans on this forum.

You guys keep showing the level of illiteracy in that mess of a country.


Household in census is a family and that is why they ask for the head name which is usually the father and ask for the number of children.

A house with and without occupants must be connected to the grid with a meter.

Have you see human beings walking around with electricity meters on their body?

Everybody care about houses and that is why we build house and live in.

The fact that the Pope run schools in Kenya does not mean they operate schools here.

rvp2018:
Again there is no evidence that PISA has administered those tests on Kenya kids. Repeating a lie will not make it a fact. They choose Ghana to basically embarrass Africans....I mean even kids from middle east..beat your kids senseless.
SACMEQ and PISA are the same test. The results will be the same.
If you come bottom; you'll be bottom in all of them; like Ghana.
As for Ghanian working in NASA and such Nigeria type of NONSENSE - how is that helping GHANA

OECD said they administered those 3 test in your country and your pupils filed miserably so they picked the 5 best performing African countries.


It is helping STEM education in Ghana and introducing Ghanaian kids to global competition in coding, robotics and etc

You are just a monumental disgrâce.......... How you know all hôtels in kenya have ACs from the confine of your home here in Ghana to argue with a kenya résident himself tells all one needs to know about your Level of idiocy .

[/s]

rvp2018:
Again for umpteenth time, household, is house with people. Nobody cares about houses or structure.

Electricity access - household with electricity. Therefore meters plus illegal connected household should match with gov stats. or Propaganda.

This example of South Africa report

According to its General Household Survey (GHS), in 2012, 1.45-million, or 11%, of South African households did not have access to electricity, while another 3.6%, or 578 005, households accessed electricity informally or illegally.

Again

In census, a household is a family tree.
Houses are structures and those are the ones that are connected to electricity grid..
Of course Kenya does not care about houses and structures, it explains why 3 million of Nairobi people live in degrading slums of zinc and an additional 1 million live in slum scrappers.


Electricity access is house connected to the national grid, especially completed houses.
Electricity meters are not slapped on human bodies, it is placed on houses.

According to the Ghana living standards report
4.5 million houses are connected to the grid through ECG, Nedco and VRA.
And that is 90% of coverage

rvp2018:
Why Not SACMEQ and PISA AND TIMSS AND NAME It - all TEST THE SAME THING - basic maths and english/language proficiency for primary school kids - the results will be the same - there is nothing complicated about those tests.

You can use South Africa and Botwana - Botswana beat South Africa in all - including SACMEQ.

Kenya of course is the top dog by far.

SECMEQ is for your backward region.
Local champion


If you want to compete, first pass the global test.

So how come you students failed those test miserably?

Even the results shows, while Ghanaian mathematicians and engineers are working at NASA, kenyans are busy picking garbage at pandora.

While Ghanaians are doing marvelous things in the medical field across the world, kenyans are busy drinking changaa

rvp2018:
Now you shifted the target to 4.7M - after realizing your gov propaganda is just meant to hoodwink Ghanians?

Where is evidence that Ghana has 5M houses.

Ghana has 7M households. House plus occupant that need to be connected to electricity.

fortunately it is not propaganda but facts that have been verified from the ground By think thanks and international organization.,

Only fools from Kenya will want to compare their miserable performance in all fields to say after all they are not doing so bad.




Electricity meters are not place on households but houses


MTN connect humans with phones to mobile services

Electricity distributors connects houses with human being in it to electricity.

rvp2018:
I have and there is no evidence that Kenya has even participated in those tests - where Ghana proudly sit at the bottom.

Ghana - bottom
Kenya - Top

Of course Kenyan students have consistently fail the test miserably hence couldn't qualify from it region to be rank


Now you are comparing a global test to your nonsense regional test?

I guess i school compare WASSCE to your SECMEQ


desperate child

rvp2018:
And the data then disappeared or what. The one I have seen was 3M metered customers- about 3.5M if you include the illegal ones- and that 90% of your electricity access - so we can conclude have connected 4m out 7m household - about 60% of Ghana.

You have the data with you, you can view it again

Let me help you, Ghana living standard report
pick it and read.


4.5 million customers which is 90% of Ghana houses

Fool

dont you know how to use the internet ?

rvp2018:
Lame. We need a link id.ot.

I have already showed the 4.5 million customers of ECG here with prove data prove, when we had this discussion last year.

You are still here making noise.

Every single part of Ghana have electricity and it include villages, except for overseas village.

Ive been to most parts of Ghana to fact check them all with an Energy Policy Think Tank.

Kenya electricity access is below 50% in 2020 accord to IEA Kenya.
The best think tank in your country

rvp2018:
I was expecting you to show us the 4.5m customers of ECG - otherwise the verbal diarhoea is not helpful.
As of 2015 - ECG had 2.6M customers - Ghana claimed to be 80% plus on electricity access.
Electricity access is not only urban centers only - it everywhere - villagers and not
Kenya now is about 8M out 12m household - 68% access (census data showed it) - but Gov Propaganda was claiming Kenya was at 85%.
I encourage you to use the under-developed brain your have to fact-check your own gov propaganda.

Don't start on water before we finish electricity.

rvp2018:
Where is evidence that kenya failed in those 3 test.

The prove is right there on OECD website

They administered the tests to developed and developing countries and they picked the best-performing countries from each region.

rvp2018:
Let's fact check Ghana electricity access propaganda

The Propaganda
At the start of the scheme, only 15- 20 percent of Ghana's population had access to electricity (Ministry of Power, 2016). Recent electricity access reviews have put access rates at 66.7 percent in 2009, 80.51 percent in 2015 and 82.5 percent in 2016 (Ministry of Power, 2016).


The Reality

1) 2015 - The distribution of electricity is carried out by the Electricity Company of
Ghana (ECG), with about 2.6 million customers accounting for about 90% of retail power sales, and
the Northern Electricity Corporation (NEDCo, a subsidiary of VRA) which handles the remaining
10%.

2015 - we can say they had about 3m customers or Households - roughly in country that had 6M Household connected to metered electricity - so access was 50%

https://ewsdata.rightsindevelopment.org/files/documents/78/WB-P147878_Cx6pxlH.pdf

You are really have a hard time


Too bad Kenya 2020 access to electricity is at 50% and access to water in Nairobi is at 40%

I wonder how you guys live in that hellhole.

Fast forward to 2020 and access to electricity in Ghana is at 90% to 92%

Here in Ghana, having electricity and water is the barest minimum and even villagers have it.

Its time we start comparing Nairobi to our villages.

rvp2018:
Where is the evidence that participating in PISA, TIMSS and PERCE is stamp of authority on your education system.
South Africa and Botswana participate in all that - and beat you. Kenya beat South Africa and Botwana in SACMEQ.

You are bottom - and proud of it - coz they invited you to participate

Kenya has built 100B dollar economy, Nairobi is your vision 2050 and name it - without any mineral, with little arable land and you think it miracle. Nope.It's our focus on education system. I have visited many Africa countries - and I am yet to find kids who are walking to school in dawn - dark - like 5 am as is normal in Kenya.Kenya kids study as hard as chinese and Indians.

The best way to rank educational systems is to administer the same test across all countries.

Kenya failed miserably in those three test and so it wasn't ranked.

South Africa and Botswana are far better than Kenya in education and that is why they were ranked in the global comparison; likewise was Ghana.

First appear in the global comparison.

secmeq is only for local underperforming countries like Kenya.

[/b]
We came bottom in a global comparison among champions. I wouldn't expect noise from the country failed miserably in the qualification ranks.

Yet The Ghanaian economy is still larger than the Kenyan economy, the Ghanaian retail market is 5 times larger than Kenya.
Ghanaian export is 4 times larger than Kenya.

The Ghanaian manufacturing sector is large enough such that Ghana import is 2 times lower than Kenya's.

Excuses upon excuse for a miserable country
Kenya arable land is more than that of Ghana.

Kenya kids study hard and yet cant pass PISA, TIMSS and PERCE tests.

That shows they are being taught nonsense.

Ghanaian kids dont need to wake up 4am to walk to school because, why would anyone put students through that stress especially when they have to sleep enough to wake up with sound minds?

[b]Ghanaian kids live on campus and go for prep in the evenings and close by 9pm.
Ghanaian primary school kids have school all around them that they attend. They dont need to wake up at 4am in order to get to school on time.

rvp2018:
Lame. I gave you empirical data - and you're diarhoeaing nonsense. Your prose itself would pass for grade 4 Kenya essay. The average Ghanaian that we seen around here is OBTUSE and DENSE. That is why despite being literally named GOLD COAST - you remain as ever poor - meanwhile more than 10B gold is smuggled to Dubai and China annually

Kenya education quality, human capital, and name it many - is many levels above Ghana.

Disagree with empirical evidence...especially if we are talking high education here..try to represent Ghana \

Ghana can only beat the ZOO! That we agree.

Noise as usual

Emperical data

Global education ranking based on the PISA, TIMSS and PERCE test

https://buzzghana.com/latest-global-school-rankings-ghana-crashes-to-the-bottom/

Your country kenya could not compete with the big boys


Your university students with only pass KG student in Ghana.

An average Kenya is ignorant and dull.

Your poor educational system in Kenya is responsible for the levels of abject poverty in Kenya.

Your country is soo poor that Kenyans can only afford slums to live in.
Meanwhile, The Chinese and Israelis are looting your country dry while the Stoo*ges Kenyatta's are holding wealth for his slave masters.


The only zoo in Africa is most definitely Kenya where poverty and illiteracy reigns supreme

In Education, the world knows Kenya not.

That's is why more Kenyans are trooping into Ghanaian universities

rvp2018:
Which one are you talking about TIMSS - you come bottom almost - and PISA was so embarrassing they kicked you out

Look at Kenya TIMSS score in the graph - kenya participate in grade 4 - and don't participate in grade 8

Kenya has participated in SACMEQ (grade - with most of Southern and East Africa countries - and consistently beat South Africa/Botwana (who are in TIMSS with Ghana).

You cannot reach kenya education standard this century

Even this thread alone should tell you that average Ghanian argues like a Kenya grade 4 kid.

Too bad you country failed miserably in the same exams that Ghanaian students excelled wonderfully to be among the top 5 countries with the best educational systems out of Africa.


We ranked with the best of the world and came among the last.

Here you go again with another nonsense post from 2003.


You can only rank favorably in your regional ranking like SECMEQ


You kenyans are so dumb and argue like mad men

PISA, TIMSS and PERCE test

These are global rankings and your country Kenya couldn't pass any of the tests.

rvp2018:
Bla de bla like always. Kenya education and human resources is definitely without doubt Africa best. There is reason why Kenya is Africa largest non mineral economy - EDUCATION.

2017, the World Economic Forum rated Kenya’s education system as the strongest on the African continent.
In 2018, the World Bank ranked Kenya the top African country for education outcomes (1st out of 43 mainland countries)

And the reasons are here -

https://medium.com/edwell/how-kenya-became-the-strongest-education-system-in-africa-70cdc72024c4

nonsense as usual from blogs

The best educational systems were ranked the world over and your country didn't even qualify to be ranked when they were picking the best from Africa.


Keep following nonsense from WEF, they are know for nonsense. That says Liberia, Chad and Zambia have better education than Israel, Spain, Turkey, Brazil and Mexico

Always making noise

You're mentally challenged retard.I am still waiting for 5yr bot that your gov already took ownership..so far it does not look likely..5yr BoT is implausible..in meantime your gov has to pay a billion dollar plus for idle power...its crazy.You cannot help but lie.It pathological. Its clinical. Its mental. The whole day spent lying on Nairaland on facts that are easy to fact check. YOUR NEED CLINICAL HELP TO DEAL WITH YOUR COMPULSIVE URGE TO LIE OVER ANYTHING

Glaucoma is what is doing you

I listed it as power plants that have been handed over to the gov't.


YOU are a mad man running around in circles

5 years BOT is highly possible and all IPPs here do 5 years.

There is no idle power payment anymore kiddo and Ghana already consumes 80% of it total generation capacity.


Youve spend your entire day being a fool and an illiterate on Nairaland, say thanks for the free education.

BUI is not BOT but you took loan from China Exim bank..using cocoa as collateral and later electricity sales are escrow.That is not BOT.Its turnkey project .You lie too much to be normal

Bui is turnkey

You were the one claiming it to be a BOT because i said it has been handed over to the government of Ghana.
Bui was built with no collateral but just a commercial loan agreement. This is not Kenya where you collateralized your port knowing very well you wont be able to pay.
