Togo: Power Utility Warns of Potential Power Cuts Until April 15

(Togo First) - The Togolese power utility–Compagnie énergie électrique du Togo (CEET)-has extended maintenance works at one of the country’s thermal power stations. Initially set to end on March 25, the works have been extended to April 15. While announcing the extension, the CEET warned of potential power cuts until the maintenance is over.

The utility attributed the extension to the need for additional technical works. The CEET said these works would ensure the optimal operation of the plant and help maintain a reliable electricity supply.

Authorities have taken measures to mitigate the anticipated power cuts. Similar to previous months, backup plans include importing additional electricity. Last month, during the temporary shutdown of the gas pipeline, Togo used liquid fuels to power thermal plants and increased imports, adding up to 35 MW to the grid.
