Liberia Renewable Energy Access Project
The development objectives of the Renewable Energy Access Project for Liberia are to increase access to electricity and to foster the use of renewable energy sources. The project comprises of three components. The first component, decentralized electrification in Lofa County will support expansion of access to affordable, reliable, year-round electricity services to at about 50,000 people in North Lofa County, an economic and agricultural hub in North-West Liberia close to the border with Guinea and Sierra Leone. It consists of following three sub-components: (i) hydropower generation and hybrid mini-grid; (ii) thermal diesel generation; and (iii) technical assistance for decentralized electrification. The second component, technical assistance to strengthen rural electrification institutions and regulations will provide technical assistance to support the implementation of the Government of Liberia (GoL's) program to expand decentralized electrification and foster the use of renewable energy. The third component, market development of stand-alone solar systems will finance the development of a national market for solar systems. It will help provide access to modern energy services to over 100,000 people. The component aims to support the development of the market by increasing the sustainability of the supply chain and by addressing demand-side constraints. It consists of following two sub-components: (i) import of stand-alone solar systems; and (ii) enabling environment for commercialization of stand-alone solar systems.
