Improving Infrastructure for Energy

The official public road network totals about 11,000km (8,000km classified in the National Road System and approximately 3,000km of local networks and unclassified roads and tracks.)

The Lungi International Airport in Sierra Leone has several direct flights to and from countries across Europe, the Middle East & Africa.

The airport has gone through several refurbishments over the past 10 years.

Current electricity capacity is at 15%, with an estimated demand of 1,500MW

The ambition of Sierra Leone is to meet demand through expansion of production, transmission and distribution infrastructure.

The Port of Freetown, with the Queen Elizabeth II Quay, is the country’s most important gateway for trade and commerce.

There are two smaller ports in Nitti, used exclusively for the export of Rutile and bauxite; and the Pepel port, used for the export of iron ore.
