Togo Plans to Boost Electricity Imports from Nigeria

Togo has expressed interest in increasing its electricity imports from Nigeria, currently set at 75 megawatt hours per hour, to address the rising domestic demand for power. This was disclosed by Jennif Adighij, the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), during discussions with a delegation from Togo's national electricity utility, led by D. Bo K. Mba Barandao.

The partnership aims to enhance the reliability of power supply, which is crucial for sustaining economic activities in Togo. Adighij emphasized that the NDPHC is prepared to deepen cooperation to support electricity exports to neighboring countries in the West African region.

To facilitate this, a bankable commercial arrangement is necessary to mitigate risks associated with cross-border electricity trade. The discussions reflect a growing effort among West African countries to strengthen electricity trade and address persistent power shortages.
