- Residents in five communities in Lagos State will benefit from a solar mini-energy project.
- The project is developed by A4&T Power Solutions Limited in partnership with Ikeja Electric PLC.
About 12,500 residents in five communities at the Epe axis in Lagos State would benefit from a solar mini-energy project embarked upon by the Lagos State Government. The groundbreaking ceremony of the interconnected solar mini-grid was done recently.
The celebration at the event was understandable because when the 0.88MW (scalable to up to 2MW) interconnected solar mini-grid is completed, it will provide energy for the Epe, Eredo Local Government Area communities of the State.
The project is being developed by A4&T Power Solutions Limited in partnership with Ikeja Electric PLC. The project is a product of the Interconnected Minigrid Access Scheme (IMAS) program.
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide- Sanwo-Olu, who described the project as laudable and first of its kind, said it was a step in the right direction towards bridging the energy gap and enabling universal sustainable energy access in Lagos State.
The Lagos State Government, via its Off-Grid Electrification Strategy and Action Plan, has set a target to achieve 1GW of Solar PV generation by 2030
