Our flagship report explores the issues and challenges shaping the grid of the future based on the latest facts and data, information, and figures. . The Benin Power Compact's end date was June 22, 2023. This year's report spotlights the uncertainty inherent in forecasting the adoption of emerging technologies like electric vehicles and electric heating. . Benin's current peak electricity demand of 250 MW is expected to rise to 500 MW by 2025 as a result of industrial investment at the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone located two hours north of Cotonou. While Benin currently depends on Nigeria and Ghana for nearly half of its electricity consumption. . Benin, a West African country nearly the size of Pennsylvania, has in recent years pursued economic reforms that have spurred strong economic growth and nationwide infrastructure improvements. The project provided financing for of-grid electrification through the Of-Grid Clean Energy Facility, together with funding for policy reform and insti-tutional strengthening in the of-grid. .
