The power station is located in the village of Yamandu, in the Southern Province of the country, near the city of Bo. (This location is different from Yamandu, a town in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone). Yamandu in Sierra Leone''s Southern Province is approximately 45 kilometres (28 mi) by road, northwest of Bo City. This is approximately 240 kilometres (149 mi), by road southeast of Freetown, the country''s capital.
In addition to the Goma Hydropower Station update, Sierra Leone signed an MoU with the European Union earlier this month to deploy 57 solar mini-grids in rural communities that currently
In a significant step towards clean energy and improved electricity access, a consortium of Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and renewable energy fund manager Frontier Energy has
Traditionally, flat-plate solar collectors have consisted of a simple glass-topped, insulated box with a flat absorber made of metal and attached to copper pipes.
Sierra Leone has committed to several renewable energy projects over the past few weeks to increase its low electricity access rate, with the most notable encompassing a major
