| description |
Liberia suffered successive armed
conflicts from 1989 to 2003 that devastated its economy,
infrastructure, human capital, and institutions, including
those of the energy sector. The Accra peace agreement of
August 2003 marked a transition toward national
reconciliation and stabilization that allowed the country to
hold elections in 2005. The newly elected Government
endorsed programs and policies aimed at improving
governance, building capacity, and managing post conflict
recovery through stabilizing the economy and supporting
economic reconstruction. The purpose of this paper is to
present stakeholders in the Liberian energy sector-and the
Liberian citizen in general-with options that might expand
access and modernize energy services. The four pillars of
the National Energy Policy (NEP) are: 1) universal energy
access, including the development of an energy master plan;
2) least-cost production of energy and protection of the
most vulnerable households; 3) the adoption of international
best practices in the electricity sector; and 4) the
acceleration of public and private partnership in the
sector. The electricity demand estimate for Liberia has been
based on available data, including that collected during
Liberia's 2008 census. The supply options under
consideration cover all options that appear technically
feasible for Liberia in 2010. |
