All On and Ceeolar Energy Limited have jointly commissioned a new 80kWp solar mini-grid in the Oweikorogha community in Bayelsa State.
The Oweikorogha mini-grid, with its 80kWp capacity, 60kW inverter system, and 120kWh energy storage, is designed to provide reliable and sustainable electricity to approximately 2,000 people.
The project will benefit 430 new connections, including 380 residential households, 39 commercial enterprises, five micro-industrial facilities, and six public institutions. Using solar energy, the mini-grid powers the community and significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability.
All On’s Niger Delta Electrification Programme is designed to address the ongoing electricity challenges in the region by funding innovative renewable energy solutions. This initiative seeks to close the energy gap by supporting indigenous developers like Ceesolar Energy in deploying mini-grids across underserved communities.
The Oweikorogha mini-grid is the first project under this programme. It serves as a pilot to showcase how clean energy can drive productivity and improve the quality of life for rural communities. By delivering affordable, reliable electricity, this project opens up opportunities for economic development and provides critical support to local businesses, public institutions, and residents.
Speaking on the completion of the project, Osagie Okunbor, Chairman of the Board at All On, remarked, “This mini-grid is more than just a power solution; it represents a new chapter for the Oweikorogha community and a step toward a more electrified and prosperous Niger Delta. We are proud to partner with Ceesolar Energy, whose commitment to bridging the energy gap aligns with our vision of sustainable energy for all.”
Ceesolar Energy CEO Chibueze Ekeh said, “We are excited to have completed the Oweikorogha mini-grid project and are confident that the community will see immediate and long-lasting benefits from reliable, clean energy. This is just the beginning of what we can achieve together to close the energy access gap in Nigeria.”
The Oweikorogha mini-grid project is the first of many that will be implemented under the Niger Delta Electrification Programme. All On remains committed to supporting the development of sustainable energy infrastructure across the region to power economic growth, improve livelihoods, and reduce the environmental impact of energy consumption.
