Aimed at reinforcing Togo’s power grid, the Kamadama project includes a 161 KV high-voltage line spanning 310 km. It links the cities of Kara, Mango, Dapaong, Mandouri, and the Togo/Benin border.
The project is backed by several partners, notably the Exim Bank of India, which loaned the Togolese State $52 million for its development.
