Recently, Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Poles Co., Ltd. has completed bulk delivery of solar street‑light steel poles for the PEP’S Rural Solar Street‑Lighting Project in Togo. The project has been successively put into service across more than 4,000 rural villages nationwide, boosting the upgrade of livelihood‑oriented lighting in West African rural areas.

As a key national PPP livelihood project of Togo, PEP’S Rural is led by the Togolese Agency for Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy (AT2ER). It plans to deploy a total of 50,000 integrated solar street‑lights in 4,599 rural villages, benefiting approximately 1.5 million rural residents. The project improves night‑time travel safety and stimulates the development of rural night‑time economy. Located in the tropical West‑African region, the site features intense solar radiation, heavy sand wind, heavy rainfall in rainy seasons, and salt‑fog erosion in partial coastal zones, which set stringent requirements on wind‑resistance and anti‑corrosion durability of street‑light steel poles.

Targeting complex local operating conditions in Togo, Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Poles carried out customized design. The street‑light poles adopt high‑standard hot‑dip galvanizing anti‑corrosion treatment, with optimized structural strength, welding and flange connection technology, well adapting to field service environments featuring high temperature, heavy sand wind and high humidity in West Africa. During project execution, cross‑functional teams covering technology, manufacturing, quality‑inspection and supply‑chain worked closely. Strict pre‑shipment inspection was implemented. Overcoming challenges including mass‑order production, ocean‑going shipping and decentralized delivery, the company finished mass production and cross‑border supply on schedule to support on‑site installation progress, and its product quality has won recognition from the general contractor.

With long‑term devotion to overseas steel‑structure equipment sector, Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Poles adheres to international‑standard R&D and manufacturing, and possesses proven capabilities for large‑volume overseas project delivery. Its products have been exported to more than 60 countries and regions worldwide. The successful delivery and implementation of the Togo PEP’S Rural Solar Street‑Lighting Project marks a key breakthrough for the company in West‑African livelihood‑oriented new‑energy infrastructure market and further expands its global project portfolio.

Going forward, Jiangsu Milky Way Steel Poles Co., Ltd. will keep leveraging its intelligent‑manufacturing and technical strengths, deliver high‑quality steel‑pole products, actively participate in livelihood‑related energy infrastructure construction of countries along the Belt and Road, and contribute Chinese smart‑manufacturing strength to rural development across Africa.
