Liberia Accelerated Electricity Expansion Project (LACEEP)

The objectives of the Additional Financing (AF) for the Liberia Accelerated Electricity Expansion Project (LACEEP) are to increase access to electricity and strengthen institutional capacity in the electricity sector. The AF will help finance the costs associated with scaled-up activities to enhance the impact of the project and to facilitate a rebound in economic activity following the disruption in the economy caused by the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The AF is requested by the Government of Liberia (GoL) to finance consulting services, works, goods, and operating costs to: (1) scale up the electrification component of the LACEEP by connecting new domestic, commercial and industrial consumers to the grid; and (2) strengthening the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) to improve its operational and financial performance and long term sustainability. The changes for the purposes of the AF are: (i) addition of support to LACEEP components 1 and 3, on investment in transmission and distribution and strengthening of sector institutional capacity; (ii) an extension of the closing date by 22 months, from June 30, 2018 to April 30, 2020; (iii) an update of the results framework to reflect the AF and new closing date; and (iv) a change in the implementation schedule to reflect the activities financed by the AF and the impact of the Ebola crisis on the implementation of the LACEEP.
