As the project moves forward, it is expected to have a transformative impact on the lives of many Liberians, providing them with access to reliable electricity for lighting, cooking, and powering electronic devices. The grant agreement signing ceremony was just the beginning of a new chapter in Liberia’s journey towards a more sustainable future.
The Executive Order stated how the government has suspended import tariffs on the types of off-grid solar lighting appliances, equipment and system components and other systems directly related to renewable energy development classified under the Tariff Numbers of the Liberia Revenue Code attached to this Executive Order.
The grant agreement is part of the Liberia Solar Home System result-based financing project funded by the World Bank and implemented by RREA in collaboration with Energizing Development or EnDev. The project aims to stimulate the off-grid solar market in Liberia through strategic subsidies.
The installation of the 18Kw Solar Power System with 28.8Kw battery capacity not only ensures a reliable energy source for the Bright Star Orphanage but also reflects APM Terminals Liberia’s commitment to sustainable initiatives that benefit both the community and the environment.
A local energy company, New Energy Electric Vehicles (NEEV), is paving the way for a transportation revolution in Liberia. By introducing innovative solutions like the solar tricycle (kehkeh) and a range of all-electric bikes, NEEV aims to improve commuting experiences for citizens going to work, school, or other places of interest.
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.
