Executive summary
Current state
The World Bank has approved a $50 million IDA grant to Sierra Leone's electricity distribution utility (EDSA) for recovery and energy access, targeting the utility's $108 million liabilities, 50%+ losses, and 36% national access rate. This creates multiple commercial gaps where capital meets implementation bottlenecks.
Market catalyst
World Bank's $50M grant includes Component 2 for 'Distribution System Loss Reduction Investments' but there's no evidence EDSA has accurate baseline loss data across its network, creating a critical data gap that must be filled before interventions can be measured.
