A TRIO PARTNERSHIP WITH BoI ON SOLAR SOLUTIONS

Schneider Electric in partnership with Green Village Electricity (GVE) Projects Limited, Arnergy Solar Limited and Bank of Industry (BoI)  have commissioned the pilot phase of a low-cost, off-grid solar energy solutions in two states in addition to four states across the country.
 
The project is designed to provide 24kw of PV solar based off-grid electricity system to rural communities in six different states of Nigeria (Gombe, Kaduna, Anambra, Delta, Osun and Niger). The system will supply electricity to around 200 clients (residential and commercial) with an average household size of seven. The estimated direct impact of the whole project is about 7,000 people, while an additional 500 people will be impacted indirectly through the cottage businesses and street lighting components also attached to the project.

Schneider Electric in partnership with GVE Projects Limited commissioned the mini-grid solar project in Bisanti, Niger State and will be partnering with Anergy Solar Limited  for the commissioning of the project in Osun State. 

The Managing Director, GVE Projects Limited, Ifeanyi B. Orajaka, said: “The project will create about 20 direct and 30 indirect jobs during the course of implementation, while creating an estimated N5million in wealth in each of the beneficiary community through construction, survey, labour and other related implementation expenditures.
