The Benin parliament on 13 April ratified an amendment to the Benin-Togo Electricity Law, opening the power sector to private sector investment. The change repeals the law which in July 1968 established the Communauté Electrique du Bénin (CEB) as the sole offtaker of electricity between the two states. Private companies will now be able to sell and purchase electricity in either country without the CEB’s involvement.
