Abstract
ABSTRACT The Kaleo Lawra solar plant was built for climate mitigation and fighting energy poverty in the economically poor region of the Upper West. Within Ghana's solar value chain, value is created through the gendered and racialized devaluation of personhood and property. Dagaaba peasants experience livelihood dislocations and resource dispossessions as energy unfreedoms for solar development, yet articulate optimistic freedom dreams fueled by unkept yet imperative employment promises. As Ghana labors to meet ambitious climate goals, the transition to renewable energy through solar power must not eclipse the development aspirations and freedom dreams of an energy poor Ghanaian labor force.
