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.
Sierra Leone currently has one of the lowest energy access rates globally, with only 36% of its population connected to the grid and a mere 6% in rural areas. The SOGREA Initiative supports the government's aim to increase the share of renewable energy in the country's energy mix to 35% by 2030. “By 2027, Sierra Leone will be fully illuminated.
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 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.
