Globeleq, the leading independent power producer in sub-Saharan Africa, has signed a joint development agreement with the Togolese government to develop a utility-scale renewable energy project.

Under the terms of the agreement, Globeleq and the Togolese government intend to develop between 24 MW and 30 MW of reliable, low cost and 100% renewable energy to support Togo's industrial development policy.

The project could take the form of a pure hydropower plant, combined hydropower and solar power plant, or a solar power plant with large capacity battery storage.

The development area of the project would be between Kara and Dapaong depending on the technological choice that will be made and will be connected to the Kara-Mango-Dapaong transmission line currently under construction.

The project will be developed under the PPP (public-private partnership) model.  It is part of the National Development Plan 2018-2022 and is the concrete manifestation of the Government of Togo's desire to increase economic relations with the United Kingdom.
