Kigali, 12 February 2026 – Rwanda Energy Group hosted a delegation of senior managers from Togo’s National Electricity Utility, Compagnie d’Energie Électrique du Togo (CEET), for a week-long working visit aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation and fostering strategic partnerships.

The visit marked a significant step toward advancing regional collaboration in the energy sector, with discussions focused on knowledge exchange and strategies to accelerate electricity network development.

Throughout the engagement, REG leadership and the CEET delegation held extensive discussions on power distribution technologies, commercial operations, digital transformation initiatives, and innovative service delivery models. The benchmarking sessions provided an opportunity for both utilities to share experiences, address common challenges, and highlight best practices in managing and expanding electricity networks in rapidly growing economies.

Gakwavu Claver, Managing Director of Energy Utility Corporation Limited (EUCL), a subsidiary of Rwanda Energy Group, underscored the value of regional knowledge sharing.

“We are honored to host our colleagues from CEET at REG, we believe collaboration among African utilities is essential to accelerating progress in the energy sector. By exchanging experiences in grid expansion, smart metering, and customer service reforms, we can collectively strengthen power distribution systems across the region,” he said.

The CEET delegation, led by Edwige Dorso Dede, Director of Commercial Services and Communications, expressed appreciation for the warm reception and the opportunity to learn from Rwanda’s energy development journey.

“Rwanda’s achievements in expanding electricity access and modernizing its distribution network are remarkable. This visit offers a valuable platform to exchange best practices and identify practical solutions that we can adapt to enhance service delivery in Togo,” she noted.

As part of the program, the delegation visited selected customer service centers in Kigali, including Pivot Access and the Nyarugenge REG Branch, gaining a comprehensive overview of Rwanda’s electricity value chain and customer engagement strategies.

The delegation also expressed strong interest in Rwanda’s approaches to operational efficiency, digitalization, and infrastructure planning.

As Rwanda and Togo continue to expand and modernize their energy systems, the week-long engagement  reflects a shared commitment to regional integration, innovation, and sustainable progress in the power sector.
