MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Liberia has been ranked among the top performers in the African Development Bank’s 2024 Electricity Regulatory Index (ERI), highlighting the country’s growing impact, sustained reforms, and strong political commitment to advancing the Power Sector.
In the newly released Index unveiled during the 2025 Africa Energy Forum in Cape Town, South Africa, Liberia achieved a score of 0.800 and moved up one position from 10th in 2022 to 9th place among forty-three participating African countries.
