The council of ministers of the government of Togo has passed two decrees to move forward in the preliminary works for the construction of two solar power projects in Salimde (60 MWp) and Awandjelo (60 MWp).
The council said that the decrees would “enable the start of compensation and expropriation procedures to secure the areas needed for the project.
