Transformational Energy Access for Sierra Leone

Objectif officiel

The action has the overall objective to: Contribute to increased generation, improved accessibility and increased use of sustainable, affordable and reliable energy And the specific objectives : 1 : To build generation and distribution infrastructure for sustainable, reliable and affordable energy and improve access to it 2 : To promote the use of renewable energies, technologies and digitalization 3 : To strengthen governance and financing of the renewable energy sector  Thus, this action will support financial investment in the off-grid solar system market in Sierra Leone, develop the services offered by access to electricity for households and public services (health centres and schools), taking into account the need to reduce the environmental footprint of batteries and panels. The action is expected to generate 6 MW of sustainable energy, benefiting 400 000 people. Working across multiple value chains, in particular agriculture, the action will promote access to financial services for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and strengthen basic, technical and managerial skills prioritising people living in vulnerable situations and specifically women and young people. At least 30% of the energy supplied will be utilized for production. 1 000 enterprises (mainly micro-enterprises and farms) will increase their productivity and their viability thanks to sustainable and reliable energy. This will increase the resilience of the population facing crisis due to pandemics, economic shock and climate change. Finally, the action will support the government of Sierra Leone in improving the regulatory and investment framework in the renewable energies sector and ensure that the investments made turn quickly and effectively into sustainable economic growth developing decent work jobs for men and women as well as supporting women empowerment. By working on specific pivotal issues (tariff structure, financing models, etc.), the EU will help the Sierra Leonean authorities and institutions in the energy sector to achieve the objectives defined by the national policy in terms of access to energy in rural areas and development of renewable energies. The action will contribute directly to the achievement of SDG 7 ¿Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all¿. The DAC code used is 203 "Energy". In accordance with the MIP, the Action will be complemented by other Actions focused on the sustainability of the food system and the protection of the ecosystem and the biodiversity.  All these Actions will contribute to developing a green economy in Sierra Leone. They will be implemented as part of the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) ¿Green alliance for Sierra Leone" which brings together EU Member States (IR, DE, FR), EU Development Finance Institutions (DFI) and EIB as well as the European private sector.
