In recognition of the complementary roles of ERERA and WAPP secretariat in the implementation of the roadmap for the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Market, the two institutions have established a technical working group which has been continually operational since 2015.
The next meeting of the working group is tentatively planned to hold in January 2017. The purpose of the meeting is to follow up on the implementation of requisite conditions for Market Phase 1 and to take necessary actions in order to meet the deadline of first quarter of 2017 envisaged for the launching of the Phase 1 of the Regional Electricity Market.
