Liberia: Race for compensation over Mount Coffee transmission line

The Mount Coffee hydroelectric power plant rehabilitation project is rushing to arrange compensation for around 500 people living along the two transmission lines that will take power from the plant to Monrovia. The issue needs to be resolved in time for the transmission lines to begin evacuating power when the first unit is connected to the grid, which is expected in December. Mount Coffee is expected to generate 88MW on completion, which is scheduled for August 2017.
