The Ministry of Energy, in collaboration with the Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority (EDSA), has signed a renewed agreement with Karpowership to extend its power generation contract for an additional year—aimed at boosting electricity supply across Sierra Leone.
Under the terms of the new deal, Karpowership will provide 25 megawatts (MW) of electricity during the rainy season and 45 MW in the dry season. This strategic move is expected to significantly enhance energy availability and reliability throughout the year.
Crucially, the government also negotiated a restructuring of Karpowership’s outstanding debt, paving the way for a more sustainable and balanced financial arrangement between the two parties.
The Ministry of Energy expressed appreciation to Karpowership for its continued partnership and commitment to improving energy access for Sierra Leoneans. Both sides reaffirmed their dedication to supporting the country’s socioeconomic progress and achieving national energy goals, ensuring a brighter and more stable future for all.
