Willingness to Pay for Electricity in Sierra Leone
A survey on the households and businesses’ willingness to pay for electricity in Sierra Leone in areas that may benefit from a potential Millennium Challenge Corporation compact investment. The study includes a comprehensive valuation of the benefits related to new electricity connections, as well as enhanced electricity supply (or reliability) for those already connected.
Workstreams
Powering Productivity and Healthy Communities
Communities without access to sufficient, reliable energy face reduced economic and human capital development opportunities. We are demonstrating how differences in energy access translate into benefits for households and societies, discovering how households adapt to outages, and how power costs and efficiency programs impact productivity.
