Another important player in the energy sector is the Togolese Agency for Rural Electrification and Renewable Energies (AT2ER), a public institution, with financial autonomy. The agency is in charge of implementing the country's rural electrification policy, promoting and developing renewable energies.
Less than half of the Togolese population has access to electricity. The country has a relatively diversified energy mix and more than 13% of its final energy consumption comes from renewable supplies of energy, mainly hydropower. Less than half of the Togolese population has access to electricity.
In total, electricity supply of 1.162 GWh is thus achieved through distribution losses, resulting in a final electricity consumption of 876 GWh. Togo's total energy consumption is divided into three sectors. The largest share, 76%, is in the use of biomass, followed by petroleum products 20%. Only 4% of energy is used in the form of electricity.
Demand for electricity in Togo has increased rapidly in line with economic growth, but energy production capacity remains insufficient to trigger structural transformation and private sector development. The progress made and the favourable outlook should help to achieve universal access to electricity, which the authorities have set for 2030.
Togo''s energy policy goal, as set out in the strategy, is to ensure access to environmentally friendly and competitive energy for the entire population by 2030.
