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.
