The Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) is a pivotal public utility established by the Government of the Republic of Liberia in 1973. Our creation stemmed from a legislative act with the core mandate of producing and supplying economical and reliable electric power across the nation. Alongside this primary responsibility, LEC is also tasked with maintaining financial viability, continually improving, and expanding our systems to accommodate future growth. Our Mandate As part of our mandate, LEC is committed to: Ensuring the availability of efficient, reliable, and affordable electric power. Meeting the rising demand for electric energy throughout Liberia. Serving as a catalyst for socio-economic development. Our Journey From 1973 until the late 1980s, Liberia’s electricity services were primarily concentrated in Monrovia and its surrounding areas, serving approximately 35,000 customers, which represented nearly 13% of the population at the time. Additionally, LEC managed the electricity supply in rural areas through 10 small, isolated power systems with a combined capacity of 13 MW. Rebuilding and Expansion The civil unrest in Liberia led to significant destruction of the nation’s electricity infrastructure. Since 2006, LEC has been diligently working to restore and expand the Monrovia grid, develop mini-grids, and establish stand-alone power systems in the interior regions. These efforts are a testament to our unwavering commitment to lighting up Liberia and driving socio-economic progress. Vision "The Leader to Light Up the Nation" Mission "To increase reliable access to affordable electricity throughout the country, in the quickest, most prudent, and sustainable manner possible." Core Values Safety Teamwork Respect Innovation Passion Slogan "Earn your stripes."
