Benin: Why Power Outages Persist in Several Localities

Benin’s power supply difficulties are linked to restrictions on energy imports from Ghana and Nigeria, according to the SBPE and SBEE. The limits reduce available electricity and disrupt service in several localities, affecting households and businesses. The two companies say they are working with authorities and other sector stakeholders, apologize for the disruption, and urge users to consume electricity responsibly. They also promise regular updates on the situation.
