The Republic of Togo has expressed interest in increasing the volume of electricity it currently purchases from Nigeria through the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC).

The development is part of efforts to meet growing power demand and extend reliable electricity supply to newly connected customers across the country.

The request was made at the weekend during a strategic meeting between the management of NDPHC and a delegation from the Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo (C.E.E.T), the national electricity utility of the Republic of Togo.

The Director-General of the organisation, Mr. Débo- K’mba BARANDAO, led the delegation, who visited the NDPHC’s management to strengthen existing collaboration and explore opportunities for expanding cross-border electricity trade.

The imported electricity contributes to sustaining quality, reliable and affordable power supply for households, businesses and public institutions in Togo.

Speaking during the engagement, the Director-General of C.E.E.T lauded NDPHC for the consistency of its electricity supply and the role the partnership has played in improving power reliability within Togo’s electricity network.

He noted that the collaboration has been beneficial to both organisations and has strengthened regional energy cooperation in West Africa.

According to him, the utility company is currently experiencing increasing electricity demand following the onboarding of new customers, including industrial and commercial users, as well as ongoing efforts by the Togolese government to expand access to electricity across the country.
