  • The Rural Electrification Agency has inaugurated a 550kWp solar hybrid mini-grid project in Plateau State to electrify 3,500 households.

The Rural Electrification Agency has inaugurated a 550kWp solar hybrid mini-grid project in Plateau State to electrify 3,500 households.

It has inaugurated a 550kWp solar hybrid mini-grid project in Bakin Ciyawa and Kwande communities, Qua’an Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State to electrify 3,500 households.

The REA Managing Director, Abba Aliyu, said this at a ceremony on Monday, adding that the project is part of the Interconnected Mini-Grid Accelerated Scheme, which aims to provide clean energy to underserved communities.

He said, “For the Bakin Ciyawa and Kwande communities, the completion of this 550kWp interconnected mini-grid is a game-changer. Bakin Ciyawa now has a 390kWp system, and Kwande has a 160kWp system.

“Together, these systems will provide clean and sustainable electricity to over 3,500 households and countless micro, small, and medium enterprises.”

Aliyu disclosed that at least 20,000 communities nationwide are currently without access to electricity, while 10,000 communities have been mapped out for electrification.

He explained that there is a robust plan by the Federal Government through the REA to provide renewable energy to rural communities across the country.

“Under the present government, we are energising a total of 3,700 communities but we are doing it in phases. It is going to be 100 communities per state and we are going to be infusing a total of 370MW of clean energy.

“The first phase, which is going to be 25 communities per state, will be 925 communities across the federation, and we will be infusing over 92MW of clean energy into our energy space”.

He added that one of the most profound benefits of the solar mini-grids is their impact on the environment.

“By replacing traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources such as diesel generators and kerosene, these mini-grids are significantly reducing carbon emissions.

“The 550kWp system installed in Bakin Ciyawa and Kwande will reduce an estimated 600 tons of CO2 emissions annually. This carbon emission reduction is equivalent to taking approximately 130 cars off the road or planting about 15,000 trees each year”.

The German Ambassador, Dr Karin Jansin, described the project as very important to her country and Plateau State.

According to her, more than 20,000 people would benefit from the project. She added that the project would aid job creation, especially for agriculture, industries, and many other areas.
