Global GridTogo's energy mix and electricity
🇹🇬 In 2024, Togo generated 0.71 TWh of electricity. The largest source was gas at 70%, followed by solar (18%) and hydro (11%). In total, 30% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 70% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 423 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), close to the world average of 458 grams in 2025.
Electricity demand was 2.21 TWh. Togo imported 1.50 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 68% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 294%, from 0.18 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 56% to 29%. The biggest rise was in gas, from 0% to 70% of generation. The biggest fall was in hydro, from 56% to 11%. Carbon intensity rose from 278 to 423 grams per kWh.

Energy security score
Vulnerable. It is not ranked because its power system is very small. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Togo, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 70%. | 52 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 68% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 0 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 30% of generation. | 30 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 70% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 30 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 1,324 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Togo, 0 km being built and 6,889 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country).
