6 FAQs about [Sierra Leone phase change energy storage]

Does Sierra Leone have a long-range energy alternative planning system?

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.

Does Sierra Leone have a balance between electricity demand and supply?

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.

How much does a 5 MW PV project cost in Sierra Leone?

The 5 MW installation is the first phase of a 25 MW PV project in Yamandu, near Bo town in Sierra Leone. The project will reportedly add approximately 15% to Sierra Leone’s total electricity generation capacity. Serengeti expects to start building the project’s second phase in 2023. The entire project will require an investment of $35 million.

Does Serengeti energy have a 5 MW solar plant in Sierra Leone?

The 5 MW Baoma 1 installation in Sierra Leone. Serengeti Energy has switched on a 5 MW PV plant in Sierra Leone as part of the Baoma 1 installation. The solar PV plant is is reportedly the west African country’s first independent power project, and was developed by the Kenya -based company and built under a public-private partnership.

How can we forecast the long-term electricity demand-supply situation in Sierra Leone?

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.

Can Sierra Leone address energy demand by 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.
