Off-Grid Power (SL) Ltd (OGP)

Off-Grid Power (SL) Ltd (OGP), a joint venture between PowerGen Renewable Energy and the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), has deployed 40 solar hybrid mini-grids with a 2.5 MW capacity across southern and eastern Sierra Leone. Part of the government's Rural Renewable Energy Project (RREP), the initiative provides electricity to over 99,000 people, many for the first time. The project has delivered significant social benefits, including improved maternal health services, higher national test results for students, and the creation of 351 total jobs. Financing was provided by Team Europe (Netherlands), the UK, Switzerland, and PowerGen, with a budget of EUR 6,340,000.

• Off-Grid Power (SL) Ltd (OGP) operates a portfolio of 40 solar hybrid mini-grids with a total capacity of 2.5 MW, providing renewable energy to more than 99,000 people in the southern and eastern regions of Sierra Leone.
• The project is part of the Government of Sierra Leone's Rural Renewable Energy Project (RREP), which was implemented by the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) to deliver 5MW of off-grid power to 94 communities across four regions, addressing a rural electrification rate that was only 5% in 2022.
• The initiative has generated significant employment and social improvements, creating 255 short-term construction jobs and 96 permanent operational jobs, while 85% of customers report improved lives.
• Electricity access has specifically improved healthcare and education: community health centres receive up to 6 kWh per month for free to support safe night-time births and vaccine cooling, and schools have seen improved national test results as children can now study at night.
• The project was established in 2019 as a joint venture between PowerGen Renewable Energy and the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), with a budget of EUR 6,340,000 and funding from the UK, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.
