Liberia Hybrid Clean Energy Initiative – Hydropower and Solar (805 MW)
Global Green Energy & Power Corporation Limited (GGEP), through its subsidiary Liberia Green Energy Inc. (LGE), is pioneering one of the most transformative renewable energy developments in West Africa. Situated on the St. John River in central Liberia, the initiative represents a landmark step in delivering sustainable, reliable, and large-scale clean power to the country and the broader ECOWAS region.
Project Highlights
- Installed Capacity (Hydropower Cascade): 405 MW
- Installed Capacity (Solar PV): 480 MWp DC (~400 MW AC)
- Location: St. John River, Liberia
Annual Generation: 2,260+ GWh
Hydropower Development
As an Independent Power Producer (IPP), GGEPCL is advancing the development of a cascade of five hydroelectric stations (St. John-1 through St. John-5). These projects will be built sequentially downstream to optimize river flow, enabling efficient and sustainable power generation. Once completed, the hydropower cascade will contribute 405 MW of clean baseload power, addressing Liberia’s acute energy deficit while driving industrial growth and regional electrification.
Solar PV Integration
To complement hydropower production, LGE is also developing a 480 MWp DC (~400 MW AC) utility-scale solar PV project co-located at one of the hydro sites. This hybrid system, the first of its kind in Liberia and among the first in Africa, leverages the natural complementarity of solar and hydro resources:- Dry Season (Nov–Apr): Solar generation peaks when river flow is low, ensuring continuity of supply.
- Rainy Season (May–Oct): Hydropower generation increases, balancing reduced solar output.
- Water Battery Effect: At HEP-1, the reservoir acts as an energy storage mechanism, storing water during peak solar hours and releasing it at night or during cloudy periods. This integration provides firm, flexible, and reliable power year-round.
Regional Impact
This innovative hybrid project will set a precedent for sustainable energy development in Africa. Beyond powering Liberia, the initiative is positioned to supply surplus energy to the ECOWAS region through the West African Power Pool (WAPP), with GGEPCL already engaged in advanced PPA discussions. By combining large-scale hydropower with floating solar PV, GGEPCL and LGE are creating a model for resilient, scalable, and environmentally responsible energy infrastructure in emerging markets.Super Napier grass Plantation to Energy Project
Plantation-Based Biomass Energy Projects
Global Green Energy & Power Corporation Limited (GGEP) is at the forefront of sustainable biomass energy development in Africa. Through large-scale plantation-based projects in the Republic of Liberia and the Kingdom of Eswatini, we are unlocking the potential of Super Napier Grass, a fast-growing, high-yield energy crop that serves as a reliable feedstock for renewable energy production.These projects are designed to deliver multiple clean energy outputs while creating agricultural, environmental, and socio-economic benefits for local communities.
Energy Outputs
Super Napier Grass cultivated under long-term land use agreements is processed into:
- Renewable Electricity – Biomass-fired power plants supplying power to national utilities under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). GGEP is in advanced discussions with the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) and the Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC) to finalize agreements.
Country Projects
Liberia
- Over 15,000 hectares identified across six farmland clusters.
- Land acquisition, environmental and social impact assessments, and feasibility studies are underway.
- Projects will supply renewable power to the national grid and produce organic fertilizers for local agriculture.
Eswatini
- A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed with Eswatini Electricity Company for developing this project as a Joint Venture.
- The partnership includes feasibility studies, project planning, and eventual large-scale deployment of plantation-based biomass projects.
Socio-Economic and Environmental Benefits
- Farmers & Local Communities – Long-term contracts for Napier grass cultivation provide stable incomes, job creation, and rural employment opportunities.
- Soil Health – Organic manure by-products improve fertility, enhance crop yields, and promote sustainable farming practices.
- Energy Access – Decentralized biomass power plants bring electricity to underserved regions, supporting rural electrification.
- Circular Economy – By-products are reintroduced into society, ensuring that the project operates on a sustainable, zero-waste model.
Competitive Edge
GGEP’s plantation-based projects are backed by robust technical solutions, advanced engineering processes, and proven project management frameworks. By combining agriculture with renewable energy, these initiatives create a scalable, replicable model for sustainable development in emerging markets.
