#memberspotlight Congratulations to our esteemed partner UEF (Universal Energy Facility) and our dedicated member Energicity on their remarkable achievement! 🔆 On Friday, June 7th, history was made as the first UEF-funded solar mini-grid in Sierra Leone commenced operations. This incredible 27kW mini-grid, located in Borup in northwest Sierra Leone, was brought to life through the diligent efforts of Energicity (Power Leone). It's not just a power source; it's a beacon of hope for over 1,300 individuals, spanning households, businesses, and vital social institutions in the Borup community. 🏡 This initiative isn't just about providing electricity; it's about transforming lives. With this mini-grid now operational, it's estimated to contribute to a significant reduction of approximately 115 tCO2e over its lifetime. That's a substantial step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future for Sierra Leone. 👏 Since the inception of the UEF mini-grid programme in Sierra Leone, the UEF has demonstrated unwavering commitment, approving funding for the construction of 7 mini-grids. The progress is truly inspiring! 🌍 As we celebrate this milestone, let's also look forward to the completion of upcoming mini-grids in Kalangba and Kasiri, expected later this year. These projects will further extend the benefits of clean energy to communities, fostering growth, and empowerment. 💡 Together, we're illuminating pathways to a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow. Kudos to UEF, Energicity, and all involved for their dedication to making a positive impact in Sierra Leone and beyond!
