Monday, June 23, 2025

Residents of Wayzohn City and surrounding communities in Grand Bassa County are on the brink of a new era, as MBH Power begins connecting homes to the national electricity grid. This long-anticipated electrification project marks a significant milestone for the region, aiming to transform everyday life for thousands of citizens. Funded through a strategic partnership between the Liberian government and private investors, the project is designed to provide a reliable and sustainable energy source that will improve essential services such as healthcare, education, and economic activities. The first phase of implementation is currently underway and includes the installation of power lines and transformers in key residential and commercial zones around Wayzohn.

“The goal of this initiative is to empower communities with access to electricity that supports development and enhances quality of life,” said a spokesperson from MBH Power. “We are proud to be part of this transformative effort that brings real change to the people of Grand Bassa.” Local residents have expressed excitement and hope for the opportunities this development will bring. Prince Targbah, a resident of the Tower Street community, shared his anticipation: “We have waited for this one electricity for a very long time. I can't wait to see it in my room with my television and fan on.”

Community members believe the impact will be far-reaching, especially in critical institutions such as the government-run hospital in Wayzohn City, where reliable power is expected to improve patient care and medical operations. As work continues, MBH Power and its partners encourage residents to cooperate with field engineers and maintain safety protocols during the installation process. The full rollout of electricity is expected to reach hundreds of homes over the coming months, gradually expanding to neighboring districts. This electrification project marks a turning point in the region’s development and represents a collective step toward modern infrastructure, improved public services, and economic growth in Grand Bassa County.
