Diesel Generator Supply Project for Agricultural & Commercial Clients in Togo

PAUWAY delivered a total of 5 units of PWC series diesel generator sets to agricultural processing enterprises and commercial facilities in Togo, covering a power range from 50KW to 200KW. These units provide dependable standby and prime power for crop processing plants — including cashew, cocoa and grain milling — as well as cold storage warehouses, retail centers, and small manufacturing workshops in Lomé and regional towns, effectively addressing the chronic grid instability and seasonal load shedding across West African power networks.

Project Background & Cooperation Overview

Togo’s national grid faces persistent supply shortfalls and frequent load shedding, particularly during dry seasons when hydropower-dependent regional supply diminishes. Agricultural processing — a cornerstone of the Togolese economy — requires uninterrupted power to avoid spoilage of perishable commodities and costly downtime. PAUWAY’s PWC series, powered by Cummins engines, delivers the robust reliability, global parts availability, and fuel efficiency that Togolese enterprises need to maintain productivity despite grid constraints.

Core Equipment Configuration

Unit Parameters & Model Layout

This batch consists of 5 PWC series diesel generator sets powered by Cummins engines, with power tiers spanning 50KW, 80KW, 120KW, 160KW and 200KW at 50Hz. The graduated power range accommodates diverse load profiles — from small cold storage units and irrigation pumps to mid-sized processing lines and commercial building backup. All units feature comprehensive protection systems compatible with Togo’s local distribution infrastructure.

Project Positioning

Distributed standby and prime power solutions for agricultural value chains and commercial operations across Togo, automatically bridging grid outages to protect perishable goods, sustain processing throughput, and maintain business continuity for local enterprises.

Product Highlights

• Cummins-powered PWC series delivering proven reliability and global spare parts availability across West Africa
• Fuel-efficient operation optimized for extended running hours during prolonged grid outages common in the region
• Compact footprint suitable for space-constrained agro-processing facilities and urban commercial sites
• Enhanced tropical climate package with improved cooling airflow and moisture-resistant insulation for Togo’s humid coastal and hot inland conditions
• ATS-compatible control system enabling seamless automatic changeover during mains failure

Project Value & Implementation Difficulties

Project Significance

The deployment of PWC series generators across Togo’s agricultural and commercial sectors significantly mitigates post-harvest losses caused by power interruptions, strengthens cold chain logistics for export produce, and enables enterprises to maintain consistent operations. This project also deepens PAUWAY’s footprint in the Francophone West African market.

Execution Challenges

Coordinating logistics through Lomé port with inland distribution to regional sites via road transport; on-site commissioning under variable grid conditions requiring voltage stabilization tuning; operator training for local technical teams in French-language documentation; establishing local spare parts inventory for ongoing service support.
