EKO HOT BLOG reports that the request was made during a strategic meeting between the management of NDPHC and a delegation from Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo (CEET), the national electricity utility of Togo.
According to a statement issued by NDPHC on Sunday, the Togolese delegation was led by the Director General of CEET, Débo‑K’mba Barandao, who visited the company to strengthen existing cooperation and explore opportunities to expand cross border electricity trade between both countries.
The statement explained that CEET currently purchases about 75 megawatt hours of electricity from NDPHC through a bilateral arrangement. The supply has played a key role in supporting electricity stability in Togo while also aiding economic activities in the country.
Barandao commended NDPHC for the consistency of its electricity supply and noted that the partnership has significantly strengthened power reliability within Togo’s electricity network. He added that the collaboration has also helped deepen regional energy cooperation in West Africa.
He explained that electricity demand in Togo has increased significantly due to the addition of new customers to the national grid, particularly industrial and commercial users whose energy requirements are higher than residential consumers.
“The utility company is currently experiencing increasing electricity demand following the onboarding of new customers, including industrial and commercial users, as well as ongoing efforts by the Togolese government to expand access to electricity across the country,” Barandao said.
Responding, the Managing Director of NDPHC, Jennifer Adighije, reaffirmed the company’s readiness to strengthen its partnership with CEET and continue electricity exports within the West African region.
She explained that NDPHC operates several power plants under the National Integrated Power Project and has the capacity to support regional electricity supply. However, she stressed the need for sustainable commercial arrangements and reliable payment structures to ensure the long term viability of cross border electricity transactions.
