The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has highlighted the key successes of its designed Energy Information System (EIS), noting that the initiative has streamlined access to energy information on the continent.
The Director of Energy and Mines at the ECOWAS Commission, Dabire Bayaornibè, reiterated this in Lagos during ECOWAS-EIS four-day workshop which brought together representatives from ECOWAS member states, specialized energy agencies, and the ECOWAS Directorate of Energy and Mines to enhance energy data management and integration across the region.
Bayaornibè stated that ECOWAS-EIS launched in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau in 2023 is to enable reliable collection, storage, and dissemination of energy data.
