Togo seeks increased power supply from Nigeria..
Togo says it is interested in increasing electricity imports from Nigeria through the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to meet domestic demand.
The Managing Director of NDPHC, Jennifer Adighije, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday following talks with Togo’s national electricity utility.
The delegation from Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo (CEET) led by its Director-General, Débo‑K’mba Barandao, visit was part of efforts to strengthen existing power supply cooperation.
Barandao said CEET currently purchases about 75 megawatt-hours of electricity from NDPHC under a bilateral supply arrangement.
“The imported electricity has played a significant role in sustaining a stable power supply and economic activities across Togo,” he said.
According to him, Nigerian electricity imports help maintain reliable and affordable power for households, businesses and public institutions across the country.
He commended NDPHC’s consistency, noting that the partnership had improved reliability within Togo’s national grid and strengthened regional energy cooperation.
Barandao said electricity demand in Togo had surged due to the addition of new consumers, especially in the industrial and commercial sectors, alongside government efforts to expand national access.
Responding, Adighije reaffirmed NDPHC’s readiness to deepen cooperation and sustain electricity exports to neighbouring countries within the West African region.
She said the company operates multiple plants under the National Integrated Power Project, with the capacity to support increased regional electricity supply.
According to her, the partnership aligns with wider regional efforts under the Economic Community of West African States to strengthen electricity trade among member states.
“A reliable payment framework will safeguard NDPHC’s interests and enable continued support for regional energy stability through power exports,” said Adighije.
Both parties agreed to sustain engagements aimed at developing workable frameworks for increased electricity supply from Nigeria to Togo.
Industry observers say the move reflects growing efforts among West African countries to deepen regional electricity trade and address persistent power shortages.
