The project is implemented by the government of Liberia through the Rural and Renewable Energy Agency to expand electricity access through off-grid solar products and solar mini-grids in selected and underserved counties of Liberia, the poorer and remote regions.

The Government of Liberia through the Rural and Renewable Energy Agency (RREA) launched the Liberia solar home system result-based financing (LSHS-RBF) project to provide off-grid electricity for rural communities in Liberia’s 15 counties. Under the project, EnDev will pilot both: direct subsidies and incentivizing operational costs.

The 45kw is worth a little over $100,000 United States dollars. The installation was done by Elise Renewable Power Liberia, generating electricity from solar panels on the roof and stored in lithium-ion batteries.

In Liberia, the Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa (BGFA) has signed an agreement with the solar home systems provider Easy Solar. The partnership covers the electrification of 9,000 households via solar home systems.

The actions supported under this operation will contribute to reducing commercial losses and strengthening Liberia Electricity Corporation’s (LEC) financial sustainability, as well as increasing access to solar energy.

The Turkish Mining company, MNG Gold, has reassured locals of Kokoyah Statutory District – its concession area – to fulfill promises made that will improve their lives. The company donated five motorbikes and 100 pieces of solar lights to stakeholders of the district.
