Nangbeto Dam, Embankment dam in Plateaux Region, Togo.

The Nangbeto Dam extends across the Mono River, creating a substantial reservoir that holds 1.7 billion cubic meters of water for power generation.

Construction of the Nangbeto Dam reached completion in 1987 through funding from the World Bank and African Development Bank, totaling 98.22 million dollars.

The dam formation creates opportunities for local fishing communities who practice traditional methods while adapting to modern reservoir conditions.

Nangbeto Dam generates 65.6 megawatts of hydroelectric power, supplying electricity to both Togo and Benin through its power station facility.

German company Voith Hydro modernizes the dam's turbines in 2022, marking the first major upgrade since its initial construction 35 years ago.
