Nigeria will vigorously develop solar power

     At the launching ceremony of the community solar energy cost project undertaken by the Niger Delta Power Holdings (NDPHC), Nis Vice President Osimbacho said that renewable energy such as solar photovoltaic has good economics, which will help Nigeria to get rid of the country ’s future. Over-reliance on the power grid has eased the contradiction between power supply and demand.

    The vast area of Nigeria has good lighting conditions, there is no reason not to develop solar energy cost lighting projects, and to provide a cheap and reliable power supply for the majority of residents, especially rural people without power supply.

    Chiedu Ugbo, CEO of NDPHC, said that at present, about 70 million people in Nigeria have no access to the power grid and can only bring their own lighting tools, which has a heavy economic burden. The first phase of the project will install 20,000 sets of domestic solar energy cost equipment for 19 northern states, and more families will be covered in the future.
