- Liberia signs PPA for the supply of 27megawatts of electricity.
- Power supply to Liberia will commence on December 1 of this year.
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) was signed between the Liberia Ministry of Mines and Energy, CI Energies, CIE and LEC for the supply of 27megawatts of electricity to Liberia. The power will be transmitted through the CLSG Transmission line. Power supply to Liberia will commence on December 1 of this year.
This 1,350-kilometer power transmission line which carries 225kv runs through the CLSG/Transco grid network connecting the four countries, La Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
With the signing of this agreement, the LEC management is confident that the country is getting closer to its national goal of increasing access to electricity for all Liberians. The management is encouraging all its customers, currently connected to the national grid, to use electricity wisely and not undermine its ability to serve the general public through misuse and theft.
According to the service provider, this PPA is for a 3-year term and is renewable. CIE will deliver to Liberia 25 megawatts on December 1, 2022, and go up to 27 megawatts in January 2023.
