Globally interconnected solar-wind system addresses future
A globally interconnected solar-wind power system can meet future electricity demand while lowering costs, enhancing resilience, and supporting a stable, sustainable transition to net-zero
One strategy is to diversify the energy mix by increasing the share of domestic renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, for electricity generation. By harnessing these indigenous and sustainable energy resources, Liberia can decrease its reliance on imported fuels and enhance its energy security.
The primary energy sources in Liberia are traditional biomass fuels such as firewood and charcoal, which account for more than 80 % of the country's total energy consumption [5, 12, 13]. Petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel, account for about 10 % of energy consumption, while hydroelectric power accounts for just over 6 % .
Efforts have been made in recent years to improve Liberia's energy situation. Yet, significant challenges, including financial constraints, inadequate infrastructure, affordability issues, and an outdated energy policy, continue to hinder progress.
This methodology provides a rigorous and systematic framework for conducting a comprehensive review of Liberia's energy situation, policies, challenges, and opportunities. It ensures a thorough analysis of the available literature and its implications for the country's development. 2.1. Study area
