The consequence of climate change leaves the world with no other option than to transition to 50% renewable energies by 2030. To make such transition possible for Italy and Ghana, there must be a calculated effort to optimize hydroelectric power to increase its ability to generate enough power to meet electricity demand. However, the limited research on renewable energies in developing countries has brought a knowledge gap, which makes renewable energies less efficient and less utilized. This study uses various methodologies to forecast weather, temperature, rainfall patterns, and dam level in real-time. The study also devices innovative ways to store water in support of the dam during a fall in the dam level, especially during drought and periods of high evaporation. The results are expected to help keep the dam usage optimized, help reduce power outage, and load-shedding. Upon completion, the project will help drive least-cost electric power decision-making, employment, economic growth, and poverty reduction in Italy and Ghana.
