6 FAQs about [South togo energy storage]
How do energy systems work in Togo?
Energy systems in many countries, including Togo, is illustrated by a balance between centralised and distributed energy system – which is mostly used nowadays to improve energy reliability and independence by providing a more stable electricity supply (Kursun et al. 2015; Liu et al. 2019; CEET 2020; SOFRECO 2010).
Where does Togo get its energy from?
To meet demand, Togo has to import most of its energy from Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire and Nigeria. The country’s main source of energy is biomass. About 76% comes from firewood, charcoal and vegetable waste. Petroleum products account for just over a quarter of energy needs, while electricity derived from thermal, hydropower and solar accounts for 4%.
Can solar PV and hydropower improve the energy situation in Togo?
With a three rounds Delphi method, the study captured the view of key stakeholders on the subject matter. It has been concluded that increasing the share of RE, namely solar PV and hydropower, could significantly improve the energy situation in Togo. This could be through the installation and development of small-scale solar plants and hydropower.
What will be a new power plant in Togo?
Another addition will be the planned coal-fired thermal power plant, the international and regional connection program with 2 transmission lines of 330 KV and 4 transmission lines of 161 KV, the construction of a 10 MW solar plant in Mango, and 5 MW in Kara (Togo PND 2018).
How much power does Togo produce a year?
Currently, Togo has 230 MW installed generating capacity that produces 1,600 GWh of power annually, of which, 65 MW of Nangbeto hydroelectric power is operated by the Benin Electricity Community (CEB, a jointly operated public entity between Togo and Benin in charge of generation) installation in Lomé.
How does energy consumption affect the economy in Togo?
Besides, its excessive consumption may sometimes lead to massive environmental pollution which takes a negative toll on the economy as illustrated by Qudrat-Ullah and Nevo (2021). Presently, the main source of energy in Togo is electricity.
