Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) equips Liberia with a modern energy data management system
As part of its efforts to strengthen the regional energy data ecosystem, the ECOWAS Commission, through its Energy and Mines Directorate, has provided technical and financial support to the Liberian Ministry of Mines and Energy to set up the Liberia Energy Information System (Liberia-EIS). An intensive training course for national stakeholders was held in Monrovia from the 30th of June to the 3rd of July 2025, using a practical, step-by-step approach. Participants were trained in the concepts and benefits of Energy Information Systems (EIS), the identification of key data producers, the management and analysis of energy databases, and the implementation of indicators for electricity, petroleum products, biomass and greenhouse gas emissions. On the 4th of July 2025, this programme concluded with the official launch of the Liberia Energy Information System (LEIS), in the presence of: Wilmot J. M. Paye, Liberia's Minister of Mines and Energy, Charles Umehai, Minister of Energy, Mr Bayaornibè Dabiré, Director of Energy and Mines at the ECOWAS Commission, Representatives of the Liberia Electricity Regulatory Commission (LERC), the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), and the National Oil and Gas Corporation of Liberia (NOCAL). In his speech, Minister Paye welcomed this ECOWAS initiative, which fills a major gap in data reliability. He stressed that the LEIS will play a key role in the development of evidence-based policies, strategic planning and transparency in the energy sector. For his part, Mr Bayaornibè Dabiré recalled that 'information is power, but only if it is shared, reliable and well used'. He called on national stakeholders to make full use of this tool to build a more resilient, equitable and sustainable energy future for Liberia.

Seagate 20TB External Hard Drive Just $0.01 Per GB, Amazon Rushes to Empty Inventory
The amount of photos, videos and files that we have on our devices makes traditional storage options obsolete. If you have a hard drive that has 2, 3, 4, or even 5TB of space, it is almost useless when a single vacation's worth of high-res photos and video can take up ample space. That's why smart people are looking for big, reliable external drives, and what better time to upgrade to an external drive? Seagate's long history of reliability and durability makes them a great brand to go with: Amazon has the Seagate expansion 22TB external hard drive at a record low (and all time low) price now of $249, over 50% off of the launch price of $599. Both 20TB and 24TB are way more expensive, make sure you get the 22TB before it's gone. See at Amazon Lifetime (Safe) Storage Why take someone's word when here is a drive that could last a lifetime? The Seagate Expansion 22TB is a 'long term investment' in your digital life. If you're a creative professional or just someone who wants to keep every precious memory safe, this drive could last you years of content. Add to that Seagate's reputation for reliability means, you can rest assured that your data will be safe and secure for ages. In comparison to cloud storage, which will run a minimum of $10 a month (and often much higher for larger capacities), this one-time payment option is a bargain. The process of opening the box to setup the Seagate 22TB HDD is fantastically easy: The drive is designed to be very simple to use and you just plug in the included power adapter and USB 3.0 cable and you are all set. USB 3.0 has the added benefit of helping to move files quickly and efficiently with minimal time wasted for large files. Also, it will seamlessly work on either your Windows computer or Mac. What we really liked about this drive is the included Rescue Data Recovery Services. Accidents can happen to anyone, and when they do, having a safety net can be critical. Seagate's data recovery service takes the worry out of it by knowing if something goes wrong, experts could recover your files. Unfortunately, many external drives don't offer you any data recovery protection, so this is a real plus for Seagate. Since Seagate Expansion 22TB is a desktop-type external hard, it works perfectly in a home office, home studio space, and to help anyone centralize their digital file storage. The 3.5-inch size will also provide better performance and reliability than the small-portable external options. Plus, the shape and size of this product looks really nice and easy to manage. If you were going to upgrade your method of backup and storage options, now is the time to do so. See at Amazon
