Résumé
This report evaluates the economic feasibility of interconnecting the electrical grids of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to enhance regional energy supply. It analyzes electricity demand and supply projections, estimates the costs of generation and transmission infrastructure, and assesses the economic benefits of interconnection. The study concludes that the interconnection is economically viable, with an estimated total cost of $3.1 billion and an Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR) of 13.8%. The project is expected to improve energy access, reduce costs, and support economic growth across the region.
