(CercleFinance.com) - Vinci Energies announced late on Thursday that it has signed a contract worth 292 million euros for the construction of a set of electricity transmission and distribution infrastructures in Benin.


Spread over three years, the work will consist of building over 500 km of high- and very-high voltage power lines, overhead and underground, as well as more than 1,000 km of medium- and low-voltage distribution networks. It also plans to connect several thousand homes.
