Abstract

This study was developed by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) as part of a technical assistance programme supporting the Sierra Leone Electricity & Water Regulatory Commission (SLEWRC). It aims to:

1. Collect relevant CAPEX and OPEX data from mini-grid developers in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Sierra Leone to enhance benchmark credibility.
2. Analyze the data to create a comprehensive CAPEX and OPEX benchmark specific to the mini-grid industry in West Africa, enabling informed decisions and effective regulatory frameworks.
3. Compile key findings into a detailed report as the basis of a training session for regulators, empowering informed decision-making and facilitating strategic initiatives for sustainable mini-grid development in Sierra Leone.
4. Contextualize the findings to understand policy drivers and macroeconomic influences in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.

The methodology employed in this study involved a collaborative effort with key stakeholders, including SEforALL, AMDA and AFUR, to gather comprehensive data on CAPEX and OPEX in the target countries. This process was facilitated through coordinated efforts among regulatory bodies and mini-grid developers.
