Renovation works on the hydropower plant of Nangbeto at the border of Togo and Benin will cost about $25 million, officials in charge of the management of the plant disclosed. The Beninese-Togolese joint venture, Communauté Electrique du Bénin (CEB), has appointed Voith to carry out the extensive rehabilitation and modernization works of the hydropower plant. A water-treatment plant will supply the neighboring communities with fresh water. The 65 MW-capacity hydropower plant is the only infrastructure supplying power to Benin and Togo. With funding from the World Bank, CEB has previously recruited consultants to improve the management of the Nangbeto plant in anticipation of new hydropower development.
