President Launches Energy Revolution in Sierra Leone

“Our nation would not develop with inadequate and unreliable access to electricity,” President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma has stated at the launch of the Energy Revolution programme at Bintumani International Conference Center in Freetown on Tuesday 10 May, 2016.

Speaking on the occasion, the president encouraged local leaders at all levels to determine their roles in ensuring that communities have access to solar and other renewable energy technologies in return for a minimal fee and also called on Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), the private sector and international partners to help create a thriving environment for renewable energy; and parliamentarians to debate and ratify this compact and financial institutions to create a financing model to catalyze this market.
