INTRODUCTION
Sustainable energy is a form of energy that helps in fulfilling today’s demand of energy
without harming and threatening resources being expired or depleted. This form of energies can
be used again and again (Hussain and et.al 2017). Sustainable energy can be widely used and
must be encouraged as they cause no harm to environment. The availability of this energy is free
of cost. All the renewable form of energy like wind, solar energy, hydro-power and so on are
sustainable as they are large quantity and in their stable forms. Many types of energy
technologies can be made with the use of sustainable forms of energy. There are some types of
renewable mini grids mostly popular in rural areas for the electrification projects. This report
deals with the application of the principles of sustainable energy and multiple different energy
technologies. There is a detailed development of the electrification strategy which is present on
off grid and on grid both types of solutions. Lastly, there is a business model and the way of
investment explained in this report.
1: Local user requirements
Sierra Leone tend to establish a new power generation unit within the western region and
through which it tend to ensure that it is being able to fulfil the power requirements of the local
audience (Rahman and Wahid, 2021). Thus in order to develop future requirements, current
working requirements has to be identified. Therefore following are the current generation
specifications which are being associated withinSierra Leone.

Thus several approaches have to be taken through which electrical requirements of the
users is being fulfilled. This is also important for the corporation that new power unit is being
