1. Introduction:

The Government of the Republic of Liberia has received funding from the World Bank towards the cost of the Liberia Renewable Energy Access Project (LIRENAP). The Liberia Renewable Energy Access Project (LIRENAP) is a World Bank funded Project designed to increase access to affordable and reliable electricity and to foster the use of renewable energy sources in Liberia. It seeks to establish a mini hydropower plant in Lofa County and provide reliable and affordable energy services to about 10,000 customers in Lofa County.

2. Project Description

The LIRENAP Project supports the implementation of the Liberia Investment Plan for Renewable Energy (IPRE) prepared by the Government in 2013.

The Project seeks to support a mini grid powered mainly by renewable energy in major population centers and small towns in Lofa County, strengthen institutions and regulations for decentralized electricity services. The Project also supports the scale-up of the Government’s initiative to foster the creation of a market for modern solar lanterns and home systems and pilot an area-based rural electrification project for rural dispersed last-mile areas that would provide sustainable lighting solutions to improve living conditions of the population living in areas that are unlikely to receive electricity from the grid. In addition, the project advances the Government’s commitment to gender equality and women’s rights by implementing gender-smart solutions focused on consultation, gender assessment and action plans, sex-disaggregated data collection, income generating activities and the productive use of energy.
