Sierra Leone: ESIA tender for Freetown LNG terminal

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is seeking expressions of interest by 25 March to conduct an environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) for the Freetown LNG terminal project. IFC has brought in Piraeus-based LNG carrier company GasLog as a partner to develop the terminal and expects a final investment decision this year, with a target commercial operation date of early 2024, coinciding with the start-up of its planned biggest offtake customer, the 90MW Western Area Power Generation Project (WAPGP) at Kissy Dock.
