Monrovia - TRANSCO CLSG a regional electricity transmission company has promised to complete Liberia’s transmission line by 2019. "Everything will be completed by 2019; it does not mean that only 2019 people will get electricity,” TRANSCO CLSG General Manager said. According to Sherif, the construction of the 1,303km of transmission line and multiple sub stations in Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are being finance by four donors. “They called it counterpart funding, funding that is contributed by the government- you got to provide that before donors bring funding”, he said. Under the World Bank financing, the TRANSCO CLSG management has awarded the contract for Lot 1 transmission line that runs from Yekepa to Buchanan to the JV Elecnor-Eiffage Energie of Spain.
