How do energy systems work in Togo?

Energy systems in many countries, including Togo, is illustrated by a balance between centralised and distributed energy system – which is mostly used nowadays to improve energy reliability and independence by providing a more stable electricity supply (Kursun et al. 2015; Liu et al. 2019; CEET 2020; SOFRECO 2010).

Can solar PV and hydropower improve the energy situation in Togo?

With a three rounds Delphi method, the study captured the view of key stakeholders on the subject matter. It has been concluded that increasing the share of RE, namely solar PV and hydropower, could significantly improve the energy situation in Togo. This could be through the installation and development of small-scale solar plants and hydropower.

What is the rate of access to electricity in Togo?

The rate of access to electricity in Togo is increasing (from 17% in 2000 to 45% in 2018), but with large differences between urban (access rate = 88.8%) and rural areas (access rate = 8%) (Energypedia 2020). Total electricity production in 2018 was 385.62 GWh between the Electricity Company of Togo (CEET) and Contour Global Togo (CGT) as shown in

Will Togo achieve universal electricity access by 2030?

Based on the literature, the Togolese national development plan, and discussions with the key energy sector, the government is now conscious of the situation and is taking initiatives to increase electricity access in Togo and plans to achieve universal access by 2030 (Togo PND 2018; AT2ER 2019).

Why does Togo rely on wind and photovoltaics?

Additionally, wind and photovoltaics (PV) contributed significantly to the security of supply, as demand could not have been met by domestic conventional and nuclear generation capacities of up to 424 h in 2018. Togo, like many sub-Saharan African countries that do not produce oil, depends mostly on imports for its electricity supply.

What will be a new power plant in Togo?

Another addition will be the planned coal-fired thermal power plant, the international and regional connection program with 2 transmission lines of 330 KV and 4 transmission lines of 161 KV, the construction of a 10 MW solar plant in Mango, and 5 MW in Kara (Togo PND 2018).
