Togo has expressed interest in increasing electricity imports from Nigeria through the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to meet rising domestic demand.
The Managing Director of Niger Delta Power Holding Company, Jennifer Adighije, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday following talks with Togo’s national electricity utility.
The visiting delegation from Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo was led by its Director-General, Débo‑K’mba Barandao, to strengthen existing power supply cooperation.
Barandao said C.E.E.T currently purchases about 75 megawatt-hours of electricity from NDPHC under a bilateral power supply arrangement.
“The imported electricity has played a significant role in sustaining stable power supply and economic activities across Togo,” he said.
According to him, Nigerian electricity imports help maintain reliable and affordable power for households, businesses and public institutions across the country.

Barandao said electricity demand in Togo had surged due to new consumers, especially in industrial and commercial sectors, alongside government efforts to expand national access.
“In view of this development, C.E.E.T is strongly interested in increasing the volume of electricity it off-takes from NDPHC,” he said.
He added that additional supply would support power expansion plans and ensure stable electricity for newly connected consumers nationwide.
Responding, Adighije reaffirmed NDPHC’s readiness to deepen cooperation and sustain electricity exports to neighbouring countries within the West African region.
She said the company operates multiple plants under the National Integrated Power Project, with capacity to support increased regional electricity supply.
According to her, the partnership aligns with wider regional efforts under Economic Community of West African States to strengthen electricity trade among member states.
Adighije stressed that expanding electricity exports would require bankable and sustainable commercial arrangements between both parties.
She noted that credible financial guarantees and structured payment mechanisms would help reduce risks associated with cross-border electricity trade.
“A reliable payment framework will safeguard NDPHC’s interests and enable continued support for regional energy stability through power exports,” she said.
Both parties described the meeting as productive and reaffirmed commitment to strengthening electricity sector cooperation.
They also agreed to sustain engagements aimed at developing workable frameworks for increased electricity supply from Nigeria to Togo.
