FrontPageAfrica had earlier reported that the Ambassador Neil Bradly called on Liberia to prioritize solar energy, instead of hydroelectric power, which is currently the main source of energy in Liberia. Engineer Emile G. Karnga, the Operations Manager Decontee Q. Wesseh, as well as operational staff for the level of work done at the hydro.
The country has the potential to generate 1,400 to 1,500 KWh/p of solar energy. UNDP, through its Inclusive Green Growth Pillar and under the Energy and Environment (E&E) Programme, is tackling these challenges within a broader development context that would facilitate synergy amongst the four thematic/focus areas of UNDP''s work: 1.
Liberia – Solar System for Health Center in Liberia. Developing affordable, sustainable, and reliable solar energy solutions is crucial to addressing this problem, as it would ensure an uninterrupted power supply, enabling healthcare establishments to perform vital tasks such as lighting, vaccine refrigeration, and operating life-saving
By using solar energy — a clean and renewable resource — the state is ensuring that the lights will continue to work even during power outages. This creates a more stable environment for both businesses and residents. President Boakai sees the solar farm as a critical step toward Liberia''s energy independence. "This is a critical step
Liberia had only 3 MW of installed solar capacity by the end of 2023, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The launch of the new utility-scale solar plant signals a significant shift toward increasing solar energy production in the country.. The government has also outlined plans to expand other energy sources, including hydropower.

In a significant advancement toward sustainable energy solutions, the government of Liberia, through the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) and World Bank Liberia, broke ground for the first utility-scale solar power plant on Friday, October 11, 2024.
In Liberia, sustainable power is harnessed from tight-knit communities to provide life-changing products and services, starting with access to solar electricity. Electricity creates opportunities — opportunities to learn, communicate, start a business, and build a better life.
Electricity is important in Liberia because it creates opportunities, such as learning, communication, starting a business, and building a better life. Unfortunately, less than 1% of rural Liberians have access to electricity. However, reliable, safe electricity is now affordable for nearly anyone. LIB Solar focuses on mobilizing communities instead of selling to individual customers to achieve economies of scale.
Fewer than 1% of rural Liberians have access to electricity. LIB Solar focuses on providing reliable, safe electricity to these communities by mobilizing communities instead of selling to individual customers. Each community receives high-quality solar systems that provide lighting and phone charging.
Liberia has a high and consistent potential for solar energy, with an average level of 1,712 kWh/m2/year, which could generate 1,400 to 1,500 kWh/kWp. Some 43% of the land is covered with forests (41,790 square kilometers, World Bank 2015), but this does not affect the solar energy potential.
The tariff on generator usage in Liberia is estimated to be approximately US$3.96/kWh, which is around 14 times higher than the LEC tariff, according to Options for Development of Liberia’s Energy Sector. The document also mentions that the consumption of thermal energy in the form of charcoal and firewood costs Liberia about 960,000 trees per year.
The potential for wind energy in Liberia is considered to be relatively low. Although there might be some potential in coastal and mountainous regions, few sites might have the required minimum wind speed of 7m/s for wind power turbans plants. The assessment does not suggest commercial exploitation of wind energy in Liberia.
