Government Boast Electricity, Intensifies Rural Electrification

The Liberian Government through the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Titan Group of Companies for the development of a 200MWp solar photovoltaic Power Plans to be located in Grand Cape Mount County. 

The agreement which was signed Tuesday, May 19, 2026, marks a major milestone in Liberia's renewable energy expansion agenda and reinforces government commitment to strengthening national energy security. Information Minister Jerolinmek M. Piah said the Power Purchase Agreement will reduce dependency on importation and costly thermal generation and as well accelerate sustainable electricity access across the country. 

Minister Piah made the disclosure at the Ministry of Information regular press briefing held Tuesday May 19, 2026. He said 200MWp Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant which includes a 100 MWh battery Energy Storage System is expected to significantly diversify Liberia's energy mix and advance sustainable power solutions for national developments. 
 

In a related development, the Rural and Renewable Energy Agency has begun the installation of the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) module for the Lofa County Mini-Grid Solar Power Plant in Bakuma, Voinjama District.
Minister Piah said this important milestone marks significant progress under the Liberia Renewable Energy Access project as effort intensifies to deliver reliable and sustainable electricity to communities across upper Lofa County.

The Lofa County Mini-Grid Solar Power Plant is a solar diesel hybrid generation facility, intended to serve as the primary source of power for the Mini-Grid system. 
Electricity generated from the plant will be stepped up and transmitted into lower voltage to serve Voinjama, Foya, Kolahun, Massambolahun, Bolahun and an estimated 20 surrounding communities. 
The plant features a 4.0 MWp solar PV array, comprising 5.712 Jinko Solar PV modules arranged across 10 solar arrays and supported by PV inverter with capacity of 3.2 MWac, utilizing 10 Sungrow string inverters.

Minister Piah said the project when completed, is expected to provide electricity access to an estimated 50,000 people across 10,000 households including businesses, health facilities and schools and as stimulate economic growth.
