Sierra Leone Rural Renewable Energy Project

The RREP, supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO), and implemented UNOPS involved investment in 94 mini-grids across Sierra Leone, constructed in two phases: Work Phase 1 and Work Phase 2. In 2019, Energicity Corp won a competitive RREP tender, securing a 20 year concession to operate 30 of these mini-grids in Port Loko, Karene, Kambia, and Moyamba Districts of Sierra Leone.  Power Leone’s first commissioned mini-grid was in Petifu Junction.

Phase 3 Project

In 2020 Power Leone signed an MOU with the Government of Sierra Leone to construct and operate 40 solar mini-grid sites with 1.4 MW capacity across rural Sierra Leone. In 2024, Sierra Leone is constructing and commissioning 17 of these mini-grid sites (800 kW). This work is made possible with the support of Sustainable Energy 4 All’s Universal Energy Facility.
