Since the end of the Liberian civil conflict in 2005, significant effort has been made towards the rehabilitation and reconstruction of damaged electricity infrastructure. Currently, the operations of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) have been substantially restored and the national utility supplies electricity to customers in parts of Monrovia and suburbs. Supplementary, a number of small-scale, unlicensed operators produce and distribute electricity to off - grid - communities around Monrovia and in rural areas.
