In Ivory Coast, which exports power to six countries, the national power company faces a generation deficit of about 200MW, or nearly 10% of its 2,230MW capacity, director-general Ahmadou Bakayoko told a news conference last week.“Electricity production at the national level has been severely impacted since November 2020 by major unforeseen technical incidents on our electricity generation tools,” energy minister Thomas Camera told the same news conference.

Two industry sources said most cocoa grinders were operating at between 25% and 50% of capacity.
