Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant Rehabilitation

The rehabilitation of the Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant is part of Government of Liberia's phased development of the entire St. Paul River Basin and part of the WAPP CLSG Redevelopment Subprogram which should enable Liberia to export power to the WAPP interconnection grid and also address the urgent electricity needs of the Liberian people. It aims at restoring the Mt. Coffee Hydro Power Plant capacity to its prewar status of 64 MW. The project is an essential component of the necessary post-conflict reconstruction effort, contributing to economic development, poverty reduction and trade. 

The financing from the Trust Fund will be used by the West African Power Pool (WAPP) Secretariat on behalf of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) to procure the services of an international consulting firm to undertake project preparation studies for the Mount Coffee Hydropower Rehabilitation Project including: (i) Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ii) review of the Feasibility Study and (iii) preparation of Functional Bidding Documents.
