Hi All,  
i am working on the onsset model for usage in western african region. After reviewing the transmission line data, i see that the dataset that can be used for Africa can be the Gislab database.

I am wondering if the transmission lines data from Gislab is ideal for western africa and if the data are updated?

Does someone have any clue on that?

Thanks.

Ashley

Hello Ashley,

Unfortunately I do not have insight in the data from Gislab. If you are interested in West Africa I think the transmission/distribution lines from ECREEE are fairly good. Check here: [http://www.ecowrex.org/mapView/](http://www.ecowrex.org/mapView/)

Best,

Babak

Dear Ashley,

Are you working for the entire region or specific countries? I have a recently updated transmission line for Nigeria.

Hi Salisu,  
thanks for your contact. Actually I’m working for Togo for a POC but I was looking for updated transmission lines for the whole western africa region.

May I know where you update your data?

Thanks.

Ashley

Hi Ashley,

I got the data from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). They are the owners of the transmission lines in Nigeria.
