Solar power is delivered at a very high cost in Sierra Leone, despite the country having an estimated hydro project potential of more than 1000MW and abundant sunlight for solar power generation, with opportunities above 240 MW.
Despite various interventions by the government, a balance between electricity demand and supply has yet to be achieved. Using the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP), this work assesses Sierra Leone’s energy supply and demand for 2019–2040.
We believe that this may serve as a reference to the government of Sierra Leone for mapping out strategies for addressing energy demand by 2040. Furthermore, this work can be further expanded by incorporating energy efficiency and energy management strategies.
Using the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP), this work assesses Sierra Leone’s energy supply and demand for 2019–2040. We developed three case scenarios (Base, Middle, and High) based on forecasted demand, resource potential, techno-economic parameters, and CO 2 emissions.
Approximately 23% of the Sierra Leone population has access to electricity [ 5 ]. 60% of Sierra Leone’s population lives in rural areas. Persistent electricity scarcity has crippled the country’s economic growth and prevented it from attaining several health and education development goals.
This study focuses on forecasting the long-term electricity demand-supply situation in Sierra Leone by considering techno-economic and environmental parameters. Three case scenarios have been generated (Base, Middle, and High) that will cover the country’s total electricity demand.
