project-details

This is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative tasked with developing off-grid, dedicated and independent power plants, as well as rehabilitating existing distribution infrastructure, to supply clean and reliable power to 37 Federal Universities and 7 affiliated University Teaching Hospitals. In addition, it will provide street lighting for illumination and safety, as well as world class Renewable Energy Workshop Training Centres (WTCs) at each of the EEP beneficiary institutions

Phase III is being funded by the African Development Bank (AFDB) in respect of 8 Universities. The Universities under this Phase will utilize technologies based on solar (11 MW) technology and/or gas (8.5MW) power systems

The objectives of this component are:

I.  Improve the quality of educational systems at tertiary institutions through the provision of reliable and sustainable power

II.  Develop and operate WTCs in which students will recieve firsthand practical experience in renewable energy technologies/innovations

III. Improve safety on campus through either the rehabilitation or installation of street lighting
