Sierra Leone - Beyond Connections: Energy Access Diagnostic Report Basedon the Multi-Tier Framework
Open accessAbstract
The survey shows that nationwide 21.1% of Sierra Leone households have access to electricity via the national grid (20.5%) or mini-grids (0.6%) and 14.7% have off-grid access. Off-grid sources predominantly include solar products such as solar lanterns, solar home systems, and solar lighting systems, and off-grid use is largely limited to rural areas. The adoption of solar lanterns, however, is significantly higher than the use of other products in rural areas. Other off-grid sources include electric generators and rechargeable batteries.

As of 2024, only 21 per cent of Sierra Leone's population were connected legally to grid electricity, with a further 15 per cent accessing power through mini-grids and off-grid sources such as solar.
“As of 2024, only 21 per cent of the population were connected legally to grid electricity-although the figure is growing-with a further 15 per cent accessing power through mini-grids and off-grid sources such as solar (World Bank 2024a; Khan and Koo 2024).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
