Dapaong solar plant to provide energy to 700,000 households and small companies

(Togo First) - Once completed, the $15 million Dapaong solar power plant will provide clean energy to about 700,000 households and small companies in Togo.

Financed by the Abu Dhabi fund for development, the project is aimed at "reducing poverty, increasing income generating activities and suppling energy to health and education service providers"

According to Adnan Z. Amin (photo), outgoing Director-general International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), this project will "create jobs, empower women and boost local communities".

The 30 MW plant is part of three projects worth $31 million. The project will be steered by Togo’s agency for rural electrification and renewable energy.
