The House of Representatives has requested at least five committees to review a US#57 million financing agreement between Liberia and the International Development Association- IDA.
The committees are Investment, Mines and Energy, Contracts and Monopoly, Ways and Means, and Public Utilities.
Plenary took the decision during its regular Thursday sitting on May 28, 2026, after receiving the agreement from President Joseph Boakai.
The agreement seeks to rapidly expand grid-connected renewable energy capacity and strengthen regional energy integration among participating countries.
The project will support the construction of a 30-megawatt solar plant with 12-megawatt hour battery storage, including associated transmission lines for grid connection at Mount Coffee Island.
It will also fund the expansion of the Mount Coffee Hydro Power Plant by adding 42-megawatts of capacity through the installation of four turbines, each with a maximum capacity of 10.5 megawatts.
Under the agreement, the IDDA will extend a concessional credit of US$57 million to support the full implementation of the project.
Pres Boakai, in his submission to the Legislature, urged timely ratification of the financing agreement.
He stressed importance of the project in strengthening the overall energy sector.
Meanwhile, the committee is expected to report on Thursday, June 4.
