Cizo: Solar-powered irrigation pumps to be set up in rural areas

(Togo First) - The CIZO solar electrification project will extend to the agricultural sector. Indeed, via its social support component, the program will purchase and set up 3,000 solar-powered irrigation pumps across the country. 

According to reliable sources, the Togolese Agency for Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy (AT2R) launched to this end a tender to acquire and install 600 irrigation kits. The tender, which will close on March 29, 2021, is financed with funds Togo secured from the African Development Fund (ADF) and the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF). 

The goal of the Togolese government is to boost the resilience of 500 rural communities using solar power. The solar-powered pumps will help these communities develop autonomous agricultural activities.
