Sungrow has completed the RESPITE Solar-plus-Storage Project in Sierra Leone, marking the first major national-scale power generation project in nearly ten years. Featuring 35MWh of energy storage with 8 units of the PowerTitan Series ESS, the project is expected to increase electricity access from 16% to 36%.
Currently, Sierra Leone's national grid is fragile, relying on a single 161kV transmission line with a capacity of 70MW. The project addresses financial barriers and enhances reliability, benefiting households, schools, and industries. The commissioning has created nearly 100 local jobs and is expected to deliver broader economic benefits.
