Does Togo have a potential for wind energy?

Togo’s potential for wind energy is not high. Our study also identified a number of challenges with renewable energy, however. For example, the Togolese government needs to determine the generation potential from various renewable energy sources. The head of a renewable energy research centre said:

Will Togo build a solar plant in salimde & awandjelo?

Togo plans to build two more solar plants in the coming years, one in Salimde, (In the Tchaoudjo prefecture) and the other in Awandjelo (Kozah).
