New project to push up Nigeria’s power supply to Togo, and others, in the subregion

(Togo First) - Togo should soon get more power supply from Nigeria, in the framework of the North Core project, a regional project. The latter is financed by the World Bank, the French Development Agency (AFD), and African Development Bank (AfDB). 

The announcement was made by Sule Abdulaziz, chairman of the executive board of the West African Power Pool (WAPP). Abdulaziz, who is also interim MD of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), did so after a meeting between the ministers of energy of Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria. 

In detail, the North Core will involve the construction, in the next two years, of a 330 kV power line that spans 875 km, going from Nigeria to benefiting countries. 

This project should allow Togo to accelerate its universal access to power strategy, a goal which it eyes by 2030.
