ECOWAS Region (West Africa) - Distribution Grid

Existing and planned distribution grid network (less than 33KV) in Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana and Guinea.

The dataset was compiled and developed by ECREEE using the following sources of information:

  • Benin: Ministry of Energy (2016)
  • Burkina Faso: West African Power Pool (WAPP) GIS database January 2017
  • Gambia: WAPP database (2015)
  • Ghana: Energy Commission (2015)
  • Guinea: Ministry of Energy, Energy Information System (SIE, 2016)

To have more information on distribution lines for the rest of ECOWAS countries, we suggest to check in the platform (https://energydata.info/): Mali: World Bank, 2017; Niger: World Bank, dataset 2015; Nigeria: World Bank, dataset 2016; Senegal: World Bank, dataset 2007; Sierra Leone: World Bank, 2017.
