While existing information resources such as the National Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE, ) have documented available incentive programs, the effectiveness of such programs is not well understood. Understanding the impact of current financial incentives on the deployment of renewables—and the factors that influence their effectiveness—is critical to a variety of stakeholders, particularly for states considering new incentives or interested in improving or discarding existing ones. In addition to policy makers and other government officials, other stakeholders stand to benefit from this information as well, including public interest and environmental groups, individuals, and the renewable energy. | REPUBLIC OF GHANA BUDGET SPEECH Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government of Ghana for the 2011 FINANCIAL YEAR Presented to PARLIAMENT On 18th November 2010 By DR.
