CH2000, a company specializing in renewable energy solutions, expanded its product range on Wednesday in Lome by unveiling a hybrid solar air conditioning system. The unit, called SunCool, is designed to run primarily on solar power while remaining connected to the power grid.
The project is structured into two separate lots, both located in the Plateaux region in south central Togo. Lot 1 covers 11 localities with planned solar capacity of 1295 kW and battery storage of 2520 kWh. Lot 2 includes 16 localities with solar capacity of 1030 kW and storage capacity of 1850 kWh.
Togo has launched a solar electrification programme to distribute 3,900 home kits, starting in the village of Komsadè in Sotouboua prefecture. The equipment is being supplied under China’s Africa Solar Belt project, which supports the energy transition and efforts to combat climate change.
Togo launches TogoTech to unify and support 15 digital startups. Platform aims to boost innovation, jobs, and public-private collaboration. The platform’s member startups collectively report more than 2 billion CFA francs in revenue and around 100 direct jobs.
In Haho 1 commune, the villages of Guèdèglèlè, Agoto, and Hounon Copé have received installations designed to supply households and micro-enterprises.

Togo joined Burundi, Ghana, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe in signing the pact, doubling down on its goal to connect all citizens to electricity. The country already powers 70% of its population through grid expansions, solar projects, and optimized energy systems.
By supplying energy via solar technology, the African Development Bank-supported project in Togo helps health centres to function more effectively and improves conditions for households and micro-businesses.
The study examines how a Togolese government subsidy on Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGo) solar systems significantly boosted adoption, especially among low-income households, by reducing electricity usage costs. It highlights the role of affordability, market dynamics, and policy design in shaping decentralized electrification efforts in low-income countries.
