Around 1.2 thousand gigawatt hours of electricity were generated in Ghana from thermal energy in December 2020. In the preceding month, slightly over 1,000 gigawatt hours of thermal energy were produced. Overall, the amount of electricity generated from this source varied across the period under study. Hydropower and solar energy are other sources used for electricity production in Ghana.
