Togolese Republic
Context and Opportunities
Togo has implemented an ambitious national electrification strategy, with a strong focus on off-grid solutions to reach rural areas. The country is positioning itself as a laboratory for innovations in decentralized energy, making it a very attractive market for RMS Impact's integrated model.
Potential Intervention Zones
The Savanes and Kara regions, which are further from the capital Lomé, are the most affected by the energy deficit. The installation of RMS Impact hubs could support agricultural cooperatives and local processing initiatives there.
