The Rural and Renewable Energy Agency (RREA) has achieved a major milestone with the completion of 100% Solarization works at several health facilities across Counties in Southeastern Liberia.
The accomplishment comes as part of a broader pre-commissioning tour aimed at evaluating newly installed solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) ahead of full commissioning of the health facilities.
During the tour, the RREA technical team visited several health facilities in Grand Kru, Maryland, Grand Gedeh, River Gee and River Cess counties and assess the functionality of newly installed solar power systems.
The public health facility electrification initiative is financed through a loan by the Government of Liberia from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank Group through the 1st phase of Liberia Electricity Sector Strengthening and Access Project, implemented by RREA. The goal of the project is to achieve universal electricity access by 2030. to expand energy access, strengthen public services, and improve the quality of life in rural and underserved communities.
Under this effort, 88 public health facilities across Liberia are now fully 100% solarized, thereby making significant progress toward universal energy access.
In addition to powering health centers, RREA has also installed 117 high-quality solar-powered streetlights in each of the following locations:
- Harper, Maryland County-
- Barclayville, Grand Kru County
- Kanweaken, River Gee County
- Grand Gedeh County
- River Cess county
These installations have improved nighttime safety and community life, with residents reporting increased confidence moving around after dark and a boost in evening activities.
In another development, as part of its corporate social responsibility commitments, RREA has announced a strategic partnership with Tarhini Construction Company to enhance safety through the supply and installation of quality solar street lights on the campus of the University of Liberia (UL).
Twenty-five pieces of state-of-the-art solar power street light and poles have already been delivered to the University of Liberia. The lights will be installed over the coming weeks.
RREA Executive Director Samuel Bocay Nagbe, Jr. emphasized the agency’s dedication to both renewable energy development and community empowerment.ins “This partnership reflects RREA’s commitment not only to renewable energy but also to the development of our communities and educational institutions,” he said. “By ensure our students safety at our institution of higher learning.
RREA reaffirmed its commitment to delivering durable, high-quality renewable energy solutions that transform communities.
The installation of high powered solar streetlights at UL underscores the effectiveness of clean energy technology in urban settings and strengthens efforts to ensure a safer learning environment.
