Millions in Africa live without a consistent supply of electricity, something which has caused a lot of socio-economic setbacks.

Some countries, like Ghana, are turning to power ships to solve their energy problems.

These floating power plants are a quick fix, providing an electricity supply and that helps to reduce those frequent blackouts. However, money troubles still loom large. Unpaid bills can lead to more power cuts, this has happened in Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone. And there are questions about the sustainability of dealing with a country鈥檚 electricity needs in this way.

Africa Daily鈥檚 Alan Kasujja has been hearing more about all this from the 大象传媒鈥檚 Aaron Akinyemi who spoke to the Chief Commercial Officer at Turkish based Karpowership, Zeynab Harezi, as well as Tony Tiyou, the CEO of Renewables in Africa.
