Benin-Nigeria Power Interconnection Project: Sharing Energy in West Africa
AFP - 20 May, 2013
The Electricity Authority of Benin-Nigerian Electric Power Authority power interconnection project, jointly financed by the African Development Bank, the West African Development Bank, and the Economic Community of West African States, is one of the sparkling flagship projects for regional integration and cooperation in West Africa. Financed under the West Africa Power Pool program, the project connects Benin's power grid (CEB) to that of Nigeria (NEPA). Since its completion in 2007, like a beacon, the project has broken dawn, lighting up vast areas of rural communities that were once in economic darkness. Today, one compelling transformation story is that electricity is now available in such rural communities as Alaari, Ihunbo, Idi-Ota, Ajilete, Oja-Erin, Sabo Ago Ilobi, Awuko Alongbon and Owode, to name a few.
