Benin: After Wadagni Secures Funding in Paris, SBEE Prepares PEDER+

After Romuald Wadagni secured 52.1 billion CFA francs in Paris to extend Benin’s electricity distribution network, SBEE is preparing to roll out the PEDER+ program in the Mono, Couffo and Borgou departments. The company is seeking a technical assistance firm for a four-year assignment covering work preparation, construction monitoring and handover, as well as environmental and social studies and compensation measures. This first phase is valued at 7.799 billion CFA francs, with six experienced consulting firms to be shortlisted. The program targets 750 localities across 15 municipalities and aims to provide more than 120,000 new connections.
