## Project Overview
**PowerLink Ghana 2050** is a community-scale energy ecosystem designed for the **Tamale–Savelugu Opportunity Corridor** in Northern Ghana. Our mission is to move beyond mere electricity access toward **opportunity access**—ensuring that energy supports education, healthcare, and agricultural resilience.
This GitHub artifact is a live **KPI Performance Dashboard** that demonstrates how our team uses data to manage energy flow and prioritize critical community loads.
## Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Our dashboard tracks four critical categories aligned with our project strategy:
1. **System Resilience:** Monitoring "WAPP-Ready" grid status and outage hours avoided.
2. **Community Impact:** Tracking AI learning lab uptime and clinic refrigeration continuity.
3. **Agri-Economy:** Measuring crop loss reduction and saved farmer income through cold storage.
4. **Equity & Climate:** Ensuring a high "Women in Energy" leadership ratio and tracking CO₂ displaced.
## The Technical Stack
The PowerLink system is a 9-layer architectural solution]:
* **Generation:** 75–100 MWdc Solar PV array.
* **Storage:** 40–50 MW / 160–200 MWh Siemens Qstor™ BESS.
* **Control:** Siemens SICAM-style microgrid controls to automate priority-load logic.
* **Connectivity:** WAPP-Ready Link via the national 330kV transmission pathway.
## Funding & Implementation
Our **$500M Blended Budget** includes a dedicated **$50M (10%) Community Benefit Fund**. Our phased roadmap ensures long-term sustainability:
* **Years 0-3:** Pilot & Voice of the Customer (VoC) validation.
* **Years 3-10:** Scaling hubs across the corridor.
* **Years 10+:** Local ownership and utility partnership.
