Dr Patrick Tolani, Managing Director of CESEL, a Nigerian privately owned firm signed on Tuesday in Abuja, on behalf of the company while Mr Clay Taber, Managing Director Renwvia, signed for his company.
Tolani said that the MoU was for development of solar microgrids in 25 communities in Bayelsa, Ondo, Ogun, and Osun.
He said the communities to benefit from the projects are those that had no access to electricity for more than ten years which includes Braz in Bayelsa and Magboro in Ogun State.
Others, he said included Ilaje areas and Igbokoda in Ondo State; and a community which was completely cut off the grid because of isolation in Osun State.
Taber in his remarks said Renewvia would install and operate microgrid systems with solar photovoltaic generation capacity and battery storage in 25 communities in Nigeria.
According to him, the design of the microgrids for the project will include PV panels, string inverters, aluminum racking and energy storage backup power.
“It is expected that the majority of the power offtakers for the project wwill be residential and commercial end users located within one kilometer of the microgrid generation units that wwill be connected at the time of project construction.
