Liberia’s capital, Monrovia, and surrounding communities are likely to experience power supply interruptions from March 26 to March 28, the country’s power utility, the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), has announced in a statement.
According to the LEC, it received official communication from TRANSCO-CLSG, a regional transmission company that supplies power to Liberia, indicating that it will undertake maintenance activities on its 225kV transmission lines from March 26 to March 28, 2026, between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily.
The LEC also stated that Électricité de Guinée (EDG) has reported technical issues with generation; consequently, power supply to Liberia will be reduced until the issue is resolved.
The corporation explained that parts of Monrovia and surrounding communities may experience power interruptions or outages during the stated period.
“These temporary disruptions are necessary to facilitate essential upgrades and to ensure the long-term reliability and stability of the regional power supply network,” the LEC said.
The power utility added that it will utilize its thermal and hydro generation capacity to provide partial electricity supply and advised customers to plan accordingly and take the necessary precautions throughout the maintenance period.
The LEC assured its customers that it is working closely with its regional partners to minimize the impact of these disruptions and restore normal service. It also expressed appreciation for their continued patience and understanding as efforts continue to improve electricity supply across Liberia.
