Togo’s Ministry of Energy has issued a tender seeking developers to electrify 172 rural communities as part of its national initiative to expand access to energy.
The project is being spearheaded by the Agency for Rural Electrification and Renewable Energies under the Energy Ministry.
The West African Development Bank (BOAD) is providing a CFA6 billion (equivalent of $10,725,840)
funding.
Selected firms will be tasked with extending the medium- and low-voltage distribution network over 18 months.
The scope includes MV overhead lines, MV/LV transformer substations, LV networks with public lighting, and household connection kits.
The tender will close on September 5, 2025, with work scheduled to begin in November this year.
Expected to generate 9.3 GWh in its first year, the project aims to improve electricity access for over 35,000 people and generate more than 600 direct and indirect jobs.
This initiative falls under Togo’s broader universal electrification strategy for 2030, which also includes the Lomé Electricity Network Expansion Project (PEREL) and other nationwide infrastructure developments.
