The Ministry of Power is set to stop the use of electricity from the national grid to power its activities at its headquarters in Maitama Abuja.
The hybrid solar mini-grid network would cost about $2.5 million to install with a 750-kilowatts (kW) daytime and 75kW night time generation capacity.
Speaking on this was the Managing Director of Preserve, the preferred bidder for the project, Dr. Abba Ibrahim, who said the process of getting the system ready and operational were in top gear.
He also said the ministry would be expected to provide a commercial guarantee to support its purchase and use of power from the system
According to him, “The Power House hybrid solar project is a pilot that came out from the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing and the whole idea is to make sure there is a decentralized distributed renewable energy source put into our power mix.
