Nigeria to Increase Solar Energy Awareness via 40 Households

“Access to Electricty in Odighi Community in Edo State using PV” is getting underway with the collaborative efforts of the Community Research and Development Centre (CREDC), Global Greengrants Fund (GGF), and the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN).

The project hopes to increase access to electricity in Odighi using PV to build capacity in the community to install and maintain solar systems, and to create awareness in Edo State on the potential for renewable energy technologies. In the project, a total of 40 households will be provided with electricity using solar generators and 50 youths from the community would be trained on installation and maintenance of solar system.

  1. Thanks for the post Lanre, an excellent project that will no doubt aid in creating a greener world.

    I know a lot of countries still haven't taken any action on converting to solar energy, it makes me wonder when we will see a complete reliance on solar panels.
