A transition to clean energy offers sub-Saharan Africa a solution to regional energy challenges. However, if not properly implemented, transition strategies risk marginalising vulnerable groups. This paper adds to existing literature by exploring how actors interact with one another, identifying areas of collaboration and conflicts. It provides new insights into household-actor interactions, analysing how these relationships influence household energy decisions. Drawing on the energy justice framework— specifically procedural and recognition justice — this study utilises primary data gathered through surveys and interviews conducted in rural communities in the Kwahu Afram Plains North and South Districts of Ghana between September 2022 and February 2023. Analysis conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and reflexive thematic techniques revealed limited collaboration among the key actors and competition among some non-state actors in energy transition. Procedural and recognition injustices are identified at multiple levels, including the exclusion of households from decision-making processes and the limited recognition of certain non-state actors at the national level. These findings underscore the importance of designing energy transition strategies that prioritise inclusive and multilevel stakeholder engagement. The study contributes to efforts to achieve SDG7 by highlighting pathways for inclusive energy transitions.
