The German system integrator and EPC Asantys Systems GmbH was selected to supply the containerized solar power assets.
This comprehensive strategy aims to increase energy access through a combination of technical and non-technical interventions. A key part of the roadmap is to incorporate Sierra Leone's abundant renewable energy resources, ensuring a secure energy supply to rural communities and boosting the national economy.
Sierra Leone currently has one of the lowest energy access rates globally, with only 36% of its population connected to the grid and a mere 6% in rural areas. The SOGREA Initiative supports the government's aim to increase the share of renewable energy in the country's energy mix to 35% by 2030. “By 2027, Sierra Leone will be fully illuminated.
A key part of the roadmap is to incorporate Sierra Leone's abundant renewable energy resources, ensuring a secure energy supply to rural communities and boosting the national economy. One of the most significant projects in this roadmap is the planned expansion of the Bumbuna Hydroelectric Dam.
