 Advancing Knowledge Sharing across East and West Africa

The inaugural West Africa Energy Cooperation Summit (WA-ECS), taking place 3 – 5 December 2024 under the Patronage of the President, Togolese Republic, is set to gather industry leaders, policymakers, and investors to discuss and shape the future of energy in the region. The theme of the event is Empowering West Africa's Growth Through Strategic Energy Partnerships.

West Africa is at a pivotal moment in its energy development, with abundant resources such as solar, hydro, and gas reserves offering unparalleled opportunities for sustainable growth.

Key initiatives such as the ongoing expansion of the West African Power Pool, the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline, Solar farm projects in Mauritania, Togo, and Mali, and BESS development across the region are setting the stage for an exciting shift in the energy landscape.

WA-ECS will facilitate in-depth discussions on the latest energy projects, practical plans for achieving 2030 renewable energy targets, and strategies to enhance market development and private sector participation.

Togo, as the Host Country

Togo is the gateway to West Africa - a region with a potential renewable energy capacity of 2,000 Gigawatts and extraordinary economic growth and social development opportunities.

As a financial hub, Togo is home to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the West African Development Bank (BOAD). It is strategically positioned at the heart of large-scale regional investment dialogue, offering a promising future as a financial and economic centre.

With the patronage of the Togolese Republic, the West Africa Energy Cooperation Summit (WA-ECS) will present and develop major infrastructure projects in Togo and throughout the ECOWAS member states and West Africa.
