π Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
To Implement Renewable Energy for Electrification of Liberia (REEL Project).
Description:
The REEL project has received over $33m, initially in the form of a grant from AfDB and Scaling-up Renewable Energy program of Strategic Climate Fund that supports renewable energy sector growth. The funding will be utilised to build a mini dam on the St. John River in Nimba County in northeastern Liberia and development of a 9.34MW hydropower plant on the Gbedin Falls. The power generated by the hydropower plant will be transmitted through an 8km, 33kV line that connects 7,000 households. It will also allow expansion of the power grid to isolated localities and support the connection of schools, health centres, businesses and industries to the national grid.
