The company's executives, however, emphasize that this agreement does not equate to an immediate disbursement of liquidity, as the effective release remains subject to the completion of regulatory procedures, approval by credit committees, and validation of definitive contracts.


The funds are divided into two tranches: a 50 billion FCFA revolving credit facility intended to cover current expenses and build an operational safety cushion, combined with a second 150 billion FCFA medium-term line. This latter tranche will enable the refinancing of existing bank and supplier debts already due, replacing short-term maturities with staggered repayments to alleviate immediate pressure on the company's cash reserves.

The negotiation table now reflects a total volume of 260 billion FCFA sought by the operator from the domestic market. Such arrangements complement an initial mandate of 60 billion FCFA entrusted to General Bank as of July 1, 2026, to finance production infrastructure.


Seeing this recapitalization strategy through to completion constitutes an absolute urgency for General Manager Oumarou Hamandjoda, whose objective is to regularize payments owed to independent producers, the National Electricity Transmission Company, and other service providers along the value chain. Ensuring the financial fluidity of this central actor conditions the stability of the entire national energy system and the quality of electricity supply to both households and businesses.
