It comprises interview data from thirteen institutions involved in sustainable energy issues in the Municipality, two Focus Group Discussions in local communities that benefited from sustainable energy projects and eight policy and planning documents related to energy policy and decentralised planning at the local level in Ghana. Specifically, the data is centred on actor involvement in sustainable energy initiatives at the local government level, the institutional capacity of local government units responsible for planning and, how planning guidelines and national policy frameworks affect local government involvement in sustainable planning and implementation. Data were analysed using ATLAS.ti and the NetDRAW component of UNCINET 6 software. The files contained in this dataset are, thus, saved in ATLAS.ti (.atlproj) and UCINET (##h) file formats. This data was collected for the preparation of a master thesis on the topic: Enhancing the role of local government in promoting sustainable energy transitions in Ghana. Mark M.
