Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has decried insecurity and lack of funding as some of the challenges hindering progress of grid interconnectivity across the region.

Project Coordinator for West African Power Pool , Dr. Mawufemo Modjinou, said the interconnection of power grids would diversify imported sources of energy to the hinterland.

The five-day delocalised gathering, which held in Freetown, Sierra Leone and was organised by ECOWAS Parliament, brought together eight Standing Committees, namely: Committee on Energy and Mines; Agriculture; Environment and Natural Resources; Infrastructure; Industry and Private Sector; Public Accounts; Macroeconomic Policy and Economic Research; Administration; Finance and Budget and Committee on Health.

On benefits of the project, Modjinou said since its commencement a decade ago, many ECOWAS member-states have been able to link with the transmission infrastructure.
