In response to Freetown’s recent power outage crisis, President Bio has convened a crucial meeting at State House with a high-powered delegation and key stakeholders from the energy sector.
According to Presidential Aide Myk Berewa the meeting aims to devise prompt solutions to alleviate the capital’s energy woes, which have left residents in darkness for almost a week.
The urgency of the situation has been exacerbated by the partial suspension of operations by Karpowership, the primary electricity supplier to Freetown. This suspension comes as a result of unpaid debts totaling US$27,102,555 owed by the government of Sierra Leone, leading to financial strain on the energy provider.
Despite the challenges posed by the nonpayment, Karpowership remains committed to ensuring that essential public services have access to electricity. However, the company has been forced to suspend most of its operations in Sierra Leone, highlighting the critical need for resolution to the outstanding debt issue
Earlier, Karpowership had formally requested payment of the overdue amount corresponding to their invoices from 2022 to 2023. The company emphasized its dedication to maintaining a level of electricity generation to support essential services, even amidst the suspension of operations.
