World Bank Grants $57 Million for Liberia's Solar Expansion and Battery Storage Projects

The World Bank has approved a financing package of US$57 million for Liberia. Funds will support the expansion of solar generation capacity across the country. Additional resources are earmarked for battery storage to stabilize the grid. The investment aims to accelerate Liberia's transition to clean energy. Officials expect increased electricity access for households and businesses. The project aligns with Liberia's national renewable‑energy strategy. International donors view the financing as a model for other African nations. Implementation is slated to begin later this year, pending project contracts.
