Summary sheet
- Energy - Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply
The project consists of a multi-component investment programme in Niger over the period 2019-2023.
The purpose is to reinforce the national electricity transmission and distribution network for 100,000 low-income households, both in rural areas, where access is currently less than 1%, and in urban areas, which experience poor and unreliable power supply. This project meets Goal 7 of the Sustainable Development Goals aiming at ensuring access for all to reliable and modern energy services at an affordable cost by 2030.
Environmental and social impact assessment studies have been prepared for the project; mitigating measures and compensations will be implemented as necessary.
Being a public entity the promoter will have to procure works, services and supplies in compliance with the provisions of the EIB's Guide to Procurement.
