BENIN - Rural Electrification Project in Benin-Phase II (PERU II) — Benin

Overview

Phase 2 of the Rural Electrification Project (PERU II) is an integral part of the priority projects of the Government Action Program (PAG) and is extracted from the National Rural Electrification Program, which aims to accelerate the electrification of the country's rural localities and promote access to electricity for the population. The project is also aligned with Benin's National Electrification Strategy (Stratégie nationale d'électrification - SNE), drawn up in 2021, which aims to provide electricity on a larger scale throughout the country. The project will be financed by an AfDB loan to the Government of Benin for a total amount of EUR 107.35 million. It will benefit from a contribution from the national counterpart, and activities will be carried out in parallel with those of the Government and SBEE. The ADB loan will partially cover the various components of the project.
