Monrovia — At the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of three 33-kilovolt distribution networks and customer connections to the cities of Buchanan, Greenville and Barclayville, the European Union Head of Delegation, Ambassador Nona Deprez recommitted the European Union's ongoing support for Liberia 's energy sector.
She noted that a grant of €52 million has provided access to electricity for 42,000 households in Monrovia, while also supporting the formation of the Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission to strengthen the energy legal framework and reduce energy losses. "Everyone will need to get used to meters, to paying for the energy that you consume," she added."It's not sustainable to use a flat rate and consume as much energy as you want. It's not good for the planet, and it's not good for Liberia's economic development."
"This program is part of the EU's Global Gateway strategy, which aims to boost smart, clean, and secure links in the digital, energy, and transport sectors," she said."We stand for sustainable interconnections and not dependencies through trusted connections."
