New platform to deploy 120 MW of renewables in Africa
African microgrid company PowerGen Renewable Energy is partnering with a team of international investors to deploy 120 MW of off-grid renewable energy systems across the continent,
The Government of Sierra Leone (GoSL) has identified green mini-grids as the most suitable means to electrify a significant number of communities, given their cost-effectiveness. SOGREA is designed to build on past successes and lessons learned to scale up the mini-grid sector and strengthen its sustainability.
Jacek Jankowski, Ambassador, EU Delegation, expresses the European Union's enthusiasm, saying: “The introduction of the Milestone-Triggered CAPEX Investment Support mechanism for solar mini-grids is a major milestone for Sierra Leone. Its scalability offers real potential to accelerate rural electrification across the country.
The SOGREA initiative directly supports Sierra Leone's Energy Transition and Green Growth Plan (ETGGP), launched in November 2024 under the Presidential Initiative on Climate Change, Renewable Energy, and Food Security (PICREF).
The ETGGP aims to achieve universal energy access in Sierra Leone by 2040, powered by clean energy sources, requiring an estimated 132 MW in mini-grids and a total investment of USD 547 million for mini-grid and solar home system targets.
