Creating a solar roadmap for the Republic of Togo

This paper describes the processes and initial results for developing a Solar Roadmap for the Republic of Togo, West Africa. The activity followed the IEA/ISA procedure described in the “Solar Energy, Mapping the Road Ahead” document. The roadmap development committee included members from Togo, Europe, Asia, and the United States. The activity was initiated in 2020. The Togo Solar Roadmap development was divided into four Phases: Planning and preparation; Visioning; Roadmap Development; and Roadmap implementation and revision. The first 3 phases have been completed and are reported in this paper. The primary focus of the roadmap is on solar electricity and photovoltaics.
