The government of Togo is preparing to create an online platform for off-grid management, which will operate according to the Paygo business model. Thus, the Togolese Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Agency (AT2ER) recently launched a call for applications for the acquisition of equipment, as well as services for the implementation, training and maintenance of the platform.
The call for applications concerns Togolese entrepreneurs and companies. These actors have until November 5th, 2020 to express their interest in pre-qualification for the AT2ER solar project.

AT2ER will use the future online platform to monitor the deployment and operation of clean energy off-grids in Togo. The public body says that solar systems will have to be connected to the digital space.
This initiative is part of the CIZO rural electrification programme in Togo (Pravost) launched in 2017 with the aim of providing electricity to 300,000 Togolese households. Through this project, the government hopes to raise the national electricity access rate to 75% by 2025 and to 100% by 2030.
