The visit aimed to advance hybrid microgrid systems which will be somewhere between 300kW and 1 MW. The solution will power market vendors in the city and steer them away from using dirty and costly diesel generators.
Investigations and discussions went very well and the project will be developed over the next 12 months.
Akure, the state capital, is rapidly developing into a commercial and industrial centre and is the site of a federal university of technology. The town is increasingly growing which is why it is a perfect site to launch microgrid projects.

Oil-rich Nigeria is increasingly looking towards renewables in order to supply clean energy to its 198million population.
Although 90% of Nigeria's current export revenue is from petroleum and gas, the federal government aims to ensure 30% of its energy production will be from renewables by 2030.
