Ministry of Finance The Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) recognises that the country is endowed with a significant solar energy resource. This potential however remains largely untapped.
The GoSL has recognised an urgent need for access to electricity for the people of Sierra Leone. Only 15% of the total population of Sierra Leone currently has access to electricity, and only 2.5% of its rural population had access in 2016, according to World Bank data.
The renewables side of the sector remains a promising growth area for Sierra Leone; a study undertaken in 2016 by representatives of the Climate Investment Funds estimated the hydropower potential in Sierra Leone to be up to 2,000 MW capacity, with suitable development sites ranging from 2 MW to 160 MW.
Sierra Leone’s energy needs are under resourced and the scarcity of a reliable energy supply is one of the key impediments to Sierra Leone’s economic and social development. The country’s installed power capacity per capita is among the lowest in the world with approximately 105 MW available for a population of over 7 million in 2018.
The electricity tariff regime in Sierra Leone is heavily subsidised and remains among the highest in Africa at US$0.28 /kWh. It is currently under review by both new utility companies and the independent regulator to improve cost recovery for private investors. As outlined further in the Infrastructure section, the PPP Unit was established in 2010.
Solar power is delivered at a very high cost in Sierra Leone, despite the country having an estimated hydro project potential of more than 1000MW and abundant sunlight for solar power generation, with opportunities above 240 MW.
