As part of the capacity building program initiated at the end of 2018 in Dakar, IED currently hosts 2 delegations from SENELEC (Senegal national electricity company) for several training sessions held throughout February and March 2019. The training focuses on Geographic Information Systems and the dimensioning of distribution network and electrical calculation, and will enable SENELEC staff to better control the technical issues related to the deployment and maintenance of distribution networks under the responsibility of the national company with in particular the use of specialized tools (GIS database, GISELEC software ...).

This training time also allowed for bilateral meetings with French industries in the sector and visits to the Smartgrid (ENEDIS) and Rural Electrification (MICHAUD) showrooms.
