On Tuesday, February 4, 2020, the GM traveled to Buchanan to assess construction activities at the Buchanan substation in Grand Bassa County.

The General Manager and team also toured the transmission line corridor between Buchanan to Monrovia, which is very critical in the delivery of reliable and affordable electricity to the people of Liberia.

Mr. Sherif commended the contractors, SIEYUAN (substations) and NCC (transmission line) on outstanding works and was reassured by them that the March 2020 schedule would be met. Following the meetings, Mr. Sherif remains optimistic (except unavoidable circumstances happened) and is reassuring the Liberian public that the schedule commissioning remains on track.

The General Manager’s next stop will be touring the Buchanan to Yekepa and Yekapa to Man (Cote d’Ivoire) transmission
