In Togo, the German Agency for International Development Cooperation (GIZ) is investing 540 million CFA francs, more than 825,000 euros, to electrify at least 10,000 people in rural areas.

Bboxx and EDF are involved in the government’s CIZO scheme to boost access to power in Togo. As part of the program, the British startup provides solar panels to households and SMEs, as well as solar-powered pumps to farmers. So far, it has impacted more than 200,000 Togolese people.

The government of the African republic of Togo has awarded a €45m contract for the supply and installation of 50,000 connected solar streetlights in several thousand non-electrified rural villages.

The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) financing was approved at its 342nd Board of Directors meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is a loan of 17.38 million euros for the electrification of rural areas of Togo through small autonomous solar power plants, connected to mini-grids.
