Karpowership Owed $50 Million – Energy Minister Reveals Sierra Leone’s $100M Electricity Debt Crisis

Minister of Energy, Cyril Arnold Grant has revealed that Sierra Leone’s energy sector is currently grappling with a staggering debt burden of nearly $100 million.
During a recent appearance on AYV’s Wake Up Sierra Leone, Grant disclosed that approximately $50 million of this debt is owed solely to Karpowership, the Turkish energy company that provides a significant portion of Freetown’s electricity.
However, the Minister emphasized that the financial crisis extends well beyond a single supplier.
