Sierra Leone currently has one of the lowest energy access rates globally, with only 36% of its population connected to the grid and a mere 6% in rural areas. The SOGREA Initiative supports the government's aim to increase the share of renewable energy in the country's energy mix to 35% by 2030. “By 2027, Sierra Leone will be fully illuminated.
We prioritize the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate climate change, and preserve natural resources. By harnessing the abundant solar energy resources available in Sierra Leone, we contribute to a cleaner, greener future for generations to come.

This publication examines the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology in aquaculture. It outlines key questions to keep in mind if you are considering solar arrays for a closed aquaculture system, and includes an example of a fish farm currently using PV power. Aquaculture is the cultivation of fish and aquatic animals and plants.
Solar energy can provide the power to drive closed-system aerators and pumps. The basic components of a PV system for aquaculture are not unlike any other system used for pumping water continuously: Solar array—a sufficient number of modules to meet electrical demand, described in more detail in the next section.
Through installing photovoltaic modules on the water's surface, the aquavoltaic industry can simultaneously generate clean energy while maintaining aquaculture operations underneath.
Despite the absence of official statistical data, the tendering and construction status published by the PV industry (Table 1) indicates that most large-scale aquaculture PV power generation projects are located in the Asia-Pacific region.
Solar and wind power projects subject to authorization : Tunisia has granted authorizations for projects with a capacity of 381 MW, including 261 MW of solar PV and 120 MW of wind power. 2 plants with a unit capacity of of Tataouine and Sidi Bouzid.
Expanding Solar Power to Meet Growing Energy Needs To bolster its solar energy capacity, the Tunisian government signed agreements with renewable energy firms Scatec and Aelous to build solar plants in Sidi Bouzid and Tozeur.
Tunisia plans to award contracts for 1.7GW of new renewable power capacity. Image: Voltalia. Tunisia has announced the winners of tenders for over 500MW of solar capacity, part of a series of tenders to install 1.7GW of new renewable power capacity.
The latter companies already have a footprint in Tunisia, with Voltalia announcing plans to build a 130MW solar project in the country in May, and Scatec collaborating with Aeolus to build a 120MW project i n August. The second tender calls for two projects of unspecified capacity in Hechain, Gabes governate and Khobna, Sidi Bouzid governate.
