Scientists from UKCEH are working on a new project, EW4Energy, on developing capacity for storm and lightning early warning systems for the energy sector in Ghana.
Led by the University of Leeds, UKCEH are collaborators along with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), University of Cape Coast (UCC) and Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet). EW4Energy will expand Ghana’s ground-based lightning detection system, ensuring development and local ownership of technical knowledge while improving storm prediction and early warning capabilities, particularly for the energy sector.
The project is part of a £10.7 million Africa-UK Physics Partnership (AUPP) programme, led by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) in collaboration with the Institute of Physics (IoP).
