Late Stage Development

Project overview

Energy that creates
opportunity.

Infinitum Energy has set out to create a meaningful impact in the young and growing country of Sierra Leone by implementing a 1,000 ton per day, waste to energy facility. The facility will produce 30MW of clean, renewable baseload power, increasing the available power to the grid, operated by Electrical Distribution & Supply Authority, under the control of the Minister of Energy, by 40%.

The goal of the project will allow for the safe diversion of approximately 30% of the waste generated in the greater Western Area of Sierra Leone. The Western Area consists of the City of Freetown, the city of Waterloo and some other rural areas, with a combined population of approximately 2.2 million people.
