Energy

Most households in the Sissala West District depend on firewood and charcoal for domestic fuel since they are obtained at little or no cost. This tendency has led to the depletion and degradation of the environment as most trees are cut down for energy. The predominant lighting fuel is Kerosene, which account for 95%. Only 5.2% of the people, particularly in the GwoUu Township have access to electricity for lighting purposes.

Basically communities along the Tumu-Gwollu trunk road are hooked to the national grid, namely Silbelle, Sorbelle, Jawia, Bouti, Liplime and Gwollu. Besides these communities, Pulima and Nyemati are also connected to the national grid. The electricity coverage in the district is 14.3%.
