49% of households use modem cooking devices by
2020, 72% by 2025 and 95% by 2030
By 2030, RESMP to:
Electrification rate for rural population outside
Monrovia to reach 35%
More than 75% of all electricity generated from
renewable energy with 19% coming from other than
large hydro: Mini-hydro, Solar and Biomass.
Universal access to affordable solar lamps, efficient
appliances and cookstoves.
Cooking gas available in all county capitals and
efficiently produced charcoal widespread across the
country
Law/
policy
The Master Plan identifies 92 projects and investments to
electrify 265 000 homes and 1.34M people outside Monrovia
until 2030.
The LRRESPs are collections of government, private, Project
community and donor projects on renewable energy in Lofa,
Nimba, Bong, Sinoe, Montserrado and Margibi counties with
the total production of 15.8 MW
The MCHP increases access to electricity and fosters the use Project
of renewable energy sources by providing 88MW to the
nation's energy use.
The Firestone Hydroelectricity power station was built in 1942 | Project
with the initial objective to supply power to the United States
military facility during world war II and the city of Robertsfield.
Currently, it supplies 4.8MW to the Firestone Rubber
plantations and the city of Harbel in Margibi County.
To increasing the share of renewable sources of electricity,
mostly hydropower, and importing cheaper electricity from
the regional market through the WAPP-CLSG line.
Imported 27MW from Ivory coast through the WAPP-CLSG
project
