Mr. Bailly used the occasion to express TRANSCO CLSG gratitude to the Prefect of the Tonkpi Region, Prefect of the Department of Man and to the entire prefectural body for their support to the CLSG project. “As you know, the CLSG project was born from the will of the four countries – Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, to put together their resources and address the common energy crisis.

The first commissioning dates of the line from Man are expected by end of the year, beginning of December 2020,” the Project Director explained.
