Construction of 150MW Power Plant Begins in Freetown

A 150 MW multi-fuel combined cycle gas turbine power plant construction has commenced at Kissy Dockyard in Freetown, with the aim of doubling the country’s electricity generation capacity.

The first power is anticipated to flow by the third quarter of 2027, an initiative which was agreed upon in December 2025 by international parties to support CECA SL Generation.

CECA SL Generation entered into a 22-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with both the local Electricity Distribution and Supply Authority and the Sierra Leone government, with the project set to satisfy a significant proportion of Sierra Leone’s future energy needs by nearly doubling the present national electricity supply capacity.
