Sewa Energy Resources (SL) Ltd. has set an ambition to invest US$1 billion into Sierra Leone’s economy. Led by Chief Executive Officer Kofie Macauley, the company is developing a long-term approach to renewable energy and the opportunities it can create.

Reliable electricity supports industrial activity, from agro-processing and cold storage to manufacturing. Energy infrastructure also creates demand for engineering, local skills, services and supply chains.

The investment ambition looks beyond a single generating facility. It is a long-term company ambition to be realised through projects and partnerships over time.

The Betmai programme, beginning with a 28.2 MW hydro phase, is part of that wider direction: connecting Sierra Leonean resources and enterprise with the country’s future energy needs.
