Nigeria has signed a deal to build a 20MW hybrid hydro-solar power generating plant, the first instalment in a 300MW project. | |
The project is part of the country's plan to transition to clean and renewable energy solutions. | |
The project will be built in Shiroro, in the central Niger state and will be a collaboration between the privately owned North South Power (NSP) Company and the state-run Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA). | |
"This is a pioneering project in terms of hybridising power in solar and hydro," Nigeria's Vice-President Kashim Shettima said during the signing of the agreement on Tuesday. | |
He added that it will help the country diversify its energy sources. | |
Nigeria has faced power problems for years, despite being a major gas and oil producer. | |
The country's inadequate and inconsistent electricity supply often causes widespread blackouts and power cuts and occasionally leads to total failure of the national power grid. | |
Most homes and businesses usually resort to generators, inverters and other sources of electricity to avoid dependence on the unreliable national grid. | |
