Using the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP), this work assesses Sierra Leone’s energy supply and demand for 2019–2040. We developed three case scenarios (Base, Middle, and High) based on forecasted demand, resource potential, techno-economic parameters, and CO 2 emissions.
This persistent electricity gap has generated significant interest in tackling the country’s long-lasting energy deficiency. Providing electricity in a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective manner in Sierra Leone requires adopting robust integrated energy planning and appropriate technologies.
This study focuses on forecasting the long-term electricity demand-supply situation in Sierra Leone by considering techno-economic and environmental parameters. Three case scenarios have been generated (Base, Middle, and High) that will cover the country’s total electricity demand.
Sierra Leone is troubled by a complex and persistent electricity gap. Closing the electricity gap in Sierra Leone remains a considerable challenge with imperative implications. Approximately 23% of the Sierra Leone population has access to electricity [ 5 ]. 60% of Sierra Leone’s population lives in rural areas.
There has been no proper energy demand forecasting study in Sierra Leone for the past decade. However, energy demand forecasting for short, medium, and long-term planning has been carried out by many researchers.
The period under study ranges from 2019 to 2040, with statistical data from 2015 included as the baseline year in the LEAP modeling. One of the main reasons for Sierra Leone’s struggling electricity system is that little attention has been given to forecasting electricity demand and supply.
