The Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) has announced a series of planned power cuts as it is unable to meet domestic peak demand. The situation, according to the state power company, was to institute load-shedding (power cut) operations to reduce available electricity imports. “CI Energies, the electricity supplier through the Transco-CLSG transmission lines, can no longer supply Liberia with electricity beyond contracted capacity,” the statement added. But a year later, after the switching on of the Transco and the signing of the power supply agreement with CI Energies and Ivory Coast, the issue of regular power supply still remains a problem, with unannounced power cuts becoming more frequent. However, no customer will be affected for more than eighteen continuous hours,” LEC says.
