After Blitta, a new photovoltaic solar power plant is to be built in Dapaong in the Savanes region of Togo. The project is the subject of an international call for tenders issued by the Respite Project Regional Coordination Unit (URC) based in Monrovia, Liberia. The call for expressions of interest, which closes on 4 June 2024, covers the design, supply and installation of the solar power plant, which will have a capacity of 25 MWp.
The plant will be backed up by a 40 MWh battery electricity storage system. The company selected is expected to build the energy infrastructure over a period of between twelve and sixteen months. Together with an evacuation line, the solar park will provide electricity to at least 60 localities in the Savanes region.
The project is being financed to the tune of 60 million dollars by the International Development Association (IDA), the concessional arm of the World Bank Group. The funding has been allocated as part of the Regional Solar Emergency Response Project (RESPITE), for which the World Bank has released $311 million in 2023, and which will be deployed in four sub-Saharan African countries.
In addition to Togo, the World Bank’s Respite programme is being implemented in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Chad. The regional project will harness around 106 MWp of solar photovoltaic energy with battery-based electricity storage systems. It should also enable the expansion of 41 MW of hydroelectric capacity, as well as the distribution and transmission of electricity in the four countries. The call for tenders launched for the Togolese phase marks a milestone in the implementation of Respite.

The Regional Emergency Solar Energy Intervention Project (RESPITE) led by the Republic of Togo has commenced the tender process for the procurement of a Photovoltaic Power Plant and Storage System. The initiative, funded by the World Bank, aims to enhance solar energy infrastructure within the country.
Details of the Invitation to Tender:
A new solar power plant will be built in Togo. The future facility will supply electricity to the Plateforme industrielle d’Adétikopé (PIA). The industrial park will be inaugurated on 6 June 2021 and is located 15 km north of Lomé, the capital of Togo. The solar power plant that its co-developer Arise Integrated Industrial Platforms (Arise IIP) wants to build is intended to supply PIA with clean energy. This sustainable development project is now being put out to tender, with two bidding options.
Solar energy suppliers can apply to sign an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the plant, which will have a capacity of 390 MWp. In this case, the plant will be fully financed by Arise IIP. The tender is also open to independent power producers (IPPs). The successful company will work in a consortium with Arise IIP. The future solar power plant will then be covered by a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
In both cases, the successful companies will also build a 200 MWh battery storage system and a 161 kVA substation. Companies interested in the call for expressions of interest have until July 20th, 2021 to apply. The Adétikopé solar power plant will become the largest solar photovoltaic power generation facility in Togo, and even in the West African sub-region. Arise IIP’s announcement comes a few weeks after the commissioning of the 50 MWp solar power plant in Blitta, which marks a symbolic step in Togo’s development process.
The new industrial zone, which is part of the same approach, aims to create high value-added chains through the development of local industry in several agro-industrial sectors. The platform will enable the processing of several agricultural raw materials, notably cotton, soya, sesame, cocoa, coffee and poultry. PIA is also intended to attract investment from the automotive, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, packaging and waste recycling industries.
