How will a new waste management facility help Sierra Leone?
Sierra Leone’s energy crisis: New 30MW facility will generate 236.5 GWh of electricity from municipal waste. Climate impact: The project will prevent 94,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Economic boost: Expected to create 250 direct jobs and support 1,500 in the waste management sector.
Why is energy diversification important in Sierra Leone?
Energy diversification: Provides a stable baseload power source, complementing the country’s hydroelectric supply during dry seasons. Sierra Leone faces a dual crisis—unmanaged urban waste and a power deficit, with only 22% of the population having access to electricity.
Why should Sierra Leone become an independent power producer?
As an Independent Power Producer (IPP), the initiative demonstrates Sierra Leone’s commitment to becoming a welcoming place for energy development to drive impactful, long-term solutions in the country’s goal of energy independence.
Does Sierra Leone have a power deficit?
Sierra Leone faces a dual crisis—unmanaged urban waste and a power deficit, with only 22% of the population having access to electricity. The project directly supports the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by integrating waste management with renewable energy.
How much electricity will Sierra Leone generate from municipal waste?
The Project will process approximately 365,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, converting it into 236.5 GWh of renewable electricity. The power will be supplied to the national grid under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement with Sierra Leone’s Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA), which is currently being finalised.
