Although the conventional thermal energy production and consumption patterns have been reported, no consolidated set of statistics exists for the total Energy situation of Sierra Leone. The figures presented in this document should be regarded as indicative of the orders of magnitude rather than as precise consumption figures.” <ref>UNDP, 2012.

| |
| − | **Old equipment
| |
| − | **No energy audits/benchmarking
| |
| − | **Inefficient cooking stoves + kerosene lights
