Target description

By 2025 Sierra Leone had 0.27gigawatt energy output representing a 0.02-gigawatt improvement from the 2023 baseline.

Target Baseline

" 0.25gigawatt energy output in 2023"

Comment on Target

Electricity access grew from 26% in 2017 to 36% in 2023, with national grid constraints leaving rural access as low as 9%. Improvement is therefore negligible. Private sector participation in electricity is improving. However, electricity theft, distribution losses together with high-cost electricity to households, makes energy access difficult for households and businesses … resulting growth energy output less meaningful.
