As part of the Master Plan, WAPP planned to accelerate several regional interconnection line projects including a transmission line to interconnect the States of Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinée (CLSG). The CLSG Project is a multinational investment operation and is financed by 4 donors namely, the World Bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the KfW and the African Development Bank (AfDB). Mambu James Kpargoi, Communications Manager at the Liberia Electricity Corporation, recently alerted consumers to join the fight against electricity theft which he says is undermining the full revitalization of the electricity sector and resultantly impacting economic growth in the country. For the foreseeable future, the TRANSCO CLSG project would be key. Mr. Mohammed M. Sherif, an Economist currently serving as the first General Manager of TRANSCO CLSG, says TRANSCO is working around the clock to have the project up and running in Liberia by December 2019.
