The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has begun discussions with Energy China to strengthen electricity infrastructure and expand access to power across West Africa.
The talks are focused on improving regional energy systems, including building and upgrading power plants, transmission lines, and distribution networks to meet growing demand.
Officials said the partnership aims to address persistent electricity shortages in many West African countries, enhance energy security, and support economic development across the region.
If successful, the collaboration between Economic Community of West African States and Energy China could play a key role in improving access to reliable electricity for millions of people in West Africa.
