AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Energy & Power: Liberia switched on its first grid-connected utility-scale solar plant—20MW Mount Coffee Solar Park—built alongside the 88MW hydropower station, with plans to expand to 30MW plus 12MWh battery storage under World Bank agreements. EU Sanctions & Shipping: The EU approved a new “mini-package” of sanctions on Russia, targeting the military-industrial complex, drone suppliers, and the “shadow fleet” ecosystem tied to crude and petroleum exports—some listings include entities linked to Liberia and other third countries. Mining & Investment: Liberia will host LIMEC 2026 (Oct 28–29) in Monrovia, aiming to draw over US$3 billion as iron ore output and critical minerals prospects reshape West Africa’s resource map. Electricity Sector Skills: LERC and IECD Liberia signed an MoU to strengthen licensing and certification for electrical professionals and contractors. Agriculture (Coffee): LACRA’s executive director toured coffee seedling sites in Bong and flagged possible amendments to its act, plus interest from an international investor for up to US$1 billion in Liberia’s coffee sector. Public Scrutiny (Drugs): Civil society groups renewed calls for transparency over a US$19M cocaine seizure at Roberts International Airport, while reporting suggests the shipment moved through multiple export-handling stages before discovery. Logistics & Trade (Education): Maersk Liberia donated five 20-foot containers to Margibi University to ease space constraints, highlighting private-sector support for Liberia’s growing education needs.
