Togo is looking to enhance its electricity imports from Nigeria, as highlighted by discussions between Togo’s national electricity utility and Nigeria's Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC). Jennifer Adighije, the Managing Director of NDPHC, indicated that Togo's initiative comes in response to the growing domestic energy needs of the nation. A delegation from Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo, including Director-General Débo‑K’mba Barandao, met with NDPHC to explore ways of reinforcing their power supply collaboration.

Currently, Togo imports approximately 75 megawatt-hours of electricity from Nigeria under a bilateral agreement, and Barandao underscored the crucial role this imported electricity plays in providing stable power supply necessary for economic activities and improving living conditions in Togo. He emphasized that these imports not only aid in sustaining reliable and affordable power for various sectors, including households and businesses, but also contribute to the overall development of the country.

The ongoing partnership between Togo and Nigeria illustrates the importance of cross-border electricity trade in enhancing energy security in the region. As Togo faces increasing demand for electricity, bolstering imports from its neighbor could be vital for fulfilling its energy requirements and supporting economic growth, making this collaboration noteworthy in West Africa's energy landscape.
