Energy Situation in Sierra Leone Proposed 2030 T&D
Energy and Rural Electrification Planning Criteria for selection of communities 1.QUANTUM OF LOAD 2.PROXIMITY TO THE MAIN GRID 3.PROXIMITY TO MINING AREAS 4.POLITICAL REASONS
Energy and Rural Electrification Planning Obstacles 1.NON-EXISTENCE OF NATIONAL GRID 2.FUNDING 3.CAPACITY BUILDING to be improved on 4.PROBLEM IN ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR GENERATION OF SOLAR ENERGY 5.PLANNING UNIT NOT WELL EQUIPPED TO COLLECT AND ANALYSE INDISPENSIBLE DATA
Energy and Rural Electrification Planning Recommendations The central and northern parts of Sierra Leone are abundantly rich in solar radiation, detailed studies should be put in place do as to develop solar energy in Sierra Leone complementing the diesel/HFO generating plants. To rapidly improve on the T&D network especially the National Grid. To give maximum support to the planning unit. To sensitise the Paramount Chiefs/stakeholders/land owners about such developments.
Renewable Energy Development Renewable Energy Master Plan 2012 National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) October 2014 Energy Efficiency Policy Final Draft December 2014 Final approval by Cabinet and Parliament 2016
