The helm of Côte d’Ivoire Énergies (CI-ENERGIES) has been officially passed to Traoré Amidou in a handover ceremony held this past Friday, July 24, 2026. The event was led by Yves Konan, Chair of the Board of Directors (PCA), marking the transition of leadership within the state-run electricity sector.
