Never 100% solar, this was possibly confused with the goal of 100% availability of electricity to all homes by 2020.
Mention 2 MW solar plant started in May.
Talk about penetration - currently over 60% of households have grid electricity, mostly in urban areas; talk about electrical parts of "Strategic National Energy Plan 20006-2020" goal for 100% availability in all rural areas
Talk about SWS shield wire system, pioneered in Ghana in the '80s and now with over 500 km of lines serving hundreds of small villages and towns along HV transmission right-of-way
better organize history, structure as origins, Akosombo, current
Talk about issues - rapid demand growth, drought affecting Volta, VALCO problems, West Africa Gas Pipeline effect on thermal power, West Africa Power Pool, transmission loss and theft, low rates for electricity
Better describe interconnections
Structure of organizations - VPA, (now BPA), ECG, NED
Talk about unbundling and new regulatory structure in 1997

A section on standards would be appropriate and helpful. From my very limited observations, the standards at the consumer level are similar to British Standard, BS 7671. Eg. most residential receptacles accept a BS.1363 plug and provide 220-240 V. If someone can draft and add a section--good! Perfection not necessary.
