The Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission (LERC) has issued a five-year electricity import license to the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), following a public hearing held earlier last week at the David A. Day Memorial Lutheran Church in Harrisburg.
The license authorizes LEC to import electricity and supply power to the Liberia Interconnected Transmission System (LITS) for a period spanning April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031.
This regulatory approval marks a significant step toward strengthening Liberia’s energy security and ensuring a more stable and reliable electricity supply across the national grid.
The license is expected to support ongoing efforts to meet growing electricity demand, enhance service delivery, and improve access to affordable energy for customers nationwide.
LERC emphasized that the decision aligns with its mandate to regulate and promote a robust and efficient electricity sector, while LEC reaffirmed its commitment to leveraging the license to optimize power supply and operational performance within the transmission system.
