Once signed, the project will be executed within 64 weeks, and upon completion, will inject clean, renewable energy into the national grid, significantly reducing the countryโs reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. โ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐,โโ ๐๐. ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐. ๐โ๐ฆ๐๐ช๐, ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ท๐ช๐๐ฆ๐๐ต๐๐ณ, ๐ฟ๐๐ถBoth the thermal and solar plants will play a critical role during Liberiaโs dry season, when reduced water levels affect generation at the Mt. Coffee Hydropower Plant.
By increasing domestic energy generation capacity, LEC aims to stabilize power supply, minimize seasonal shortages, and to meet the growing industrial load demand during both rain & dry season. These initiatives mark a significant step in Liberiaโs ongoing energy transformation and reaffirm both LECโs and the Government of Liberiaโs commitment to providing reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity to the Liberian people. LEC extends appreciation to all stakeholders and partners involved and remains dedicated to transparency, efficiency, and sustainable development.
