The Government of Liberia has expressed deep appreciation to the European Union for its generous grant of forty-two million Euros to support the electrification of Greenville, Barclayville, and Buchanan.
The project, which was officially launched a few months ago, aims to expand access to reliable and affordable electricity in these key southeastern and coastal cities.
Since its launch, progress has been steady, with stakeholders working collaboratively to ensure that the set timelines are met. Early indicators suggest that the project remains on schedule and the deadline appears feasible.
On Tuesday, the latest shipment of equipment and materials arrived at the project sites, signaling continued momentum and reinforcing confidence in timely implementation.
The newly delivered materials include transformers, poles, and electrical cables, all essential for the construction of transmission and distribution networks in the target areas.
Local officials and community members have welcomed the project, noting that reliable electricity will boost local economies, improve healthcare delivery, enhance education, and attract investment.
Project engineers and EU technical experts are closely monitoring the rollout to ensure compliance with international standards and environmental safeguards.
Government representatives have hailed the EU’s contribution as a transformational investment in Liberia’s infrastructure and a critical step toward national development.
The Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy remain actively involved in the coordination and oversight of the project.
As work continues, the government has reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and community engagement throughout the implementation process.
