Togo Targets Bigger Nigerian Power Imports To Stabilise Grid

The Republic of Togo is seeking to expand electricity imports from Nigeria through the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to meet growing demand across the country.

The development was disclosed in a statement by NDPHC on Sunday, March 15, 2026, following a strategic meeting between the company and a delegation from Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo (CEET), led by Director‑General Débo‑K’mba Barandao.

The engagement focused on strengthening cooperation and exploring expanded cross‑border power trade.

Barandao commended NDPHC for its reliable electricity supply, saying the partnership has improved power stability in Togo.

CEET currently purchases about 75 megawatt‑hours of electricity from Nigeria under a bilateral arrangement, helping sustain delivery for households, businesses, and public institutions.

He noted that electricity demand in Togo is rising due to new industrial and commercial connections, coupled with government efforts to expand nationwide access.

Increasing imports from Nigeria, he said, would support Togo’s power expansion strategy and ensure stable supply for newly connected consumers.

Responding, NDPHC Managing Director and CEO Jennifer Adighije reaffirmed her company’s readiness to deepen collaboration and sustain electricity exports to neighbouring countries.

She highlighted NDPHC’s capacity through the National Integrated Power Project and stressed the importance of structured commercial arrangements, including credible financial guarantees, to reduce payment risks and ensure long-term sustainability.

Both parties described the meeting as productive and pledged continued engagement to develop frameworks for increased electricity supply from Nigeria to Togo.
