General News of Wednesday, 1 September 2021Source: GNACharles Boakye, the Chief Executive Officer of Infrastructure Systems says Ghana’s current electricity grid cannot support the use of electric vehicles. “As it stands, we cannot roll out electric vehicles entirely because there is not enough power. We have to start and work our way towards switching because vehicle manufactures are gradually shifting from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Asked how nuclear power operated, Mr Boakye explained that the plants heat water to produce steam to spin large turbines activating an electric generator to create low-carbon electricity. He said the quest to switch to electric vehicles coupled with the country's industrialisation agenda meant nuclear power was needed in the energy mix to serve the growing population.
