Togo power grid

OverWatts maps 65 km of Togo's electricity transmission network across 9 line segments and 2 substations, the 149th most-mapped grid of 153 countries. Its backbone is high voltage (220–379 kV), carrying 65 km — 100% of the mapped length, with the highest tagged voltage at 330 kV. That works out to 1.1 km per 1,000 km² of land — sparse OpenStreetMap coverage, ahead of 6% of mapped countries. It is connected to 2 neighbouring grids by 783 MW of existing cross-border transfer capacity, with a further 374 MW planned.

OpenStreetMap coverage

Sparse1.1 km / 1,000 km²ahead of 6% of 153 mapped countries

This grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn Togo's network — not how much network exists. Large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone, and every kilometre here is mapped length, so the totals are a floor rather than an operator-reported figure. 11% of segments carry a real line name and 0% an operator tag.

Mapped line length by voltage

9 segments · a segment is credited to the country containing its midpoint, so a border-crossing line counts once, on one side.

Where there is room to connect a new load depends on published hosting capacity, which most operators release only as their own map. OverWatts does not yet ingest those feeds, so these are the density measures the open data supports — generation and mapped demand against mapped network — not a headroom figure.

How Togo compares · mapped grid by country

Frequently asked

How big is Togo's transmission network?
OverWatts maps 65 km of transmission line in Togo, across 9 segments, plus 2 substations. This is mapped length from OpenStreetMap, not an operator-reported total — where OSM is incomplete the figure is a floor, never a ceiling.
What voltage is Togo's grid?
Most of the mapped network is high voltage (220–379 kV): 65 km of 65 km. The highest voltage tagged anywhere in the country is 330 kV.
How complete is the grid map for Togo?
Sparse — 1.1 km of mapped line per 1,000 km² of land, ahead of 6% of the 153 countries with any mapped grid. Coverage grades how completely OpenStreetMap has drawn the network, not how much network exists; large, sparsely-populated countries score low for geographic reasons alone.
What interconnectors connect Togo to its neighbours?
783 MW of cross-border transfer capacity to Ghana, Benin, plus 374 MW planned. Capacities are from the Global Transmission Database (v1.0, 2023).
