Abstract:The research aims to identify which healthcare facilities (HCFs) in Ghana are suitable for electrification using photovoltaic (PV) mini-grids to increase their energy self-sufficiency and reliability of services provided. Additionally, the study categorises the HCFs in two groups: those with and without or with poor access to electricity supply, identify settlements within their catchment area, and etermine
the electricity demand for identified HCF sites and their surrounding communities.
