Overview

Togo’s electricity access rate has risen dramatically from 15.30 % in 1998 to 62.34 % in 2025, marking the country’s all‑time peak and placing it 186th globally. This 47.04‑percentage‑point increase over 27 years reflects sustained expansion of generation capacity, grid extension, and rural electrification programmes, yet the level remains modest compared with regional peers such as Nigeria at 65.08 % and Lesotho at 61.12 %. The steep climb from the late‑1990s trough coincides with reforms that liberalised the power sector and attracted foreign investment, while recent gains align with the rollout of renewable mini‑grids and international financing for infrastructure. Despite progress, the current coverage leaves a substantial share of the population without reliable electricity, limiting industrial productivity and human development outcomes. Continued investment in transmission upgrades and off‑grid solutions will be critical to maintain the upward trajectory and narrow the gap with higher‑ranking neighbors.
