The move will enhance Sierra Leone’s electricity generation and supply infrastructure through a phased approach.

Infinity Power will work closely with the Ministry of Energy to conduct feasibility studies, obtain required permits and finalise Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA).

The first phase of the development will focus on the creation of 200MW of renewable energy generation capacity. This will include the expansion of hydroelectric dam capabilities and the installation of both floating and ground-mounted solar PV systems.
