Description: The Togolese government plans to achieve 100% electrification to all by 2030, to meet the Millennium goals. The Delphi method is used with the experts drawn from policymakers, academic institutions, financial institutions, non-governmental institutions, and private companies. and the results show that raising the renewable energy business share in Togo through accelerated access to small-scale solar photovoltaics and hydropower is the most feasible route for electrification. The monopoly, non-liberalization of the energy sector, and the lack of a trained workforce were identified as the main inhibitors for private investment. The study recommends the optimization of the system for better performance and the creation of local manufacturing plants to promote the national production of solar system components along the assembly lines.

Togo’s first independent power producer, ContourGlobal, started commercial operations in 2010, tripling the country’s generation capacity. The Government of Togo is interested in increasing private sector investment in the power sector and attracting off-grid companies to increase access to electricity in rural areas.

Description: Solar home systems (SHS) represent today a viable and scalable solution to meet basic energy needs (lighting, mobile phone charging) – the first step of the energy ladder – but are much more limited when it comes to offering productive use of energy. Productive use of energy is however crucial to develop valuable economic activities in off-grid villages.

Description: Rural electrification is today an important element of countries economic development around the world. Access to electricity is believed to alleviate poverty, and therefore is emphasized in the United Nations’ strategies to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In this spirit, Togo started in 2012 a new rural electrification program that, after its second phase, will have brought electricity to more than a hundred villages. It is too soon to evaluate the outcomes of the program, but it is still enough time to assess the design of the program as well as its implementation in order to identify areas of improvement. This work takes the approach of a comparative study.
