Togo energy production

How much electricity does Togo produce?

The combined production capacity on these two rivers is about 224 MW (REEEP, 2012). Just 23 per cent of Togo’s electricity comes from hydro-electricity (AFREC, 2015). Togo has no hydrocarbon deposits and all petroleum products are imported. In 2015, this amounted to 564 ktoe of oil products (AFREC, 2015).

Can Togo achieve universal access to electricity?

Demand for electricity in Togo has increased rapidly in line with economic growth, but energy production capacity remains insufficient to trigger structural transformation and private sector development. The progress made and the favourable outlook should help to achieve universal access to electricity, which the authorities have set for 2030.

What percentage of the Togolese population has access to electricity?

Less than half of the Togolese population has access to electricity. The country has a relatively diversified energy mix and more than 13% of its final energy consumption comes from renewable supplies of energy, mainly hydropower. Less than half of the Togolese population has access to electricity.

Does Togo have a solar industry?

Togo still has a nascent solar industry despite the potential for solar energy. To date, solar has been used for of-grid services in rural areas such as water heating, telecommunications, school systems and other small-scale applications. The solar radiation is about 4.5 kWh/m2/day (REEEP, 2012).

How much hydro-electric power does Togo have?

Togo had 66 MW of hydro-electric capacity installed in 2011 (WEC, 2013). Despite this and the potential for mini- and micro-hydroplants, on River Mono (eastern Togo) and River Oti (a transboundary river), the sector is undeveloped. The combined production capacity on these two rivers is about 224 MW (REEEP, 2012).

Does Togo have a potential for solar energy?

There has been no in-depth study to investigate potential in this sector (REEEP, 2012). Togo still has a nascent solar industry despite the potential for solar energy. To date, solar has been used for of-grid services in rural areas such as water heating, telecommunications, school systems and other small-scale applications.
