Sub-saharan First Of Its Kind Power Project In Ogun State. by Gbawe: 3:11pm On Nov 08, 2011 |
Impressive joint rural renewable energy electrification project between the Ogun State Government and Schneider Electric limited. Sounds like a very successful and transformational pilot scheme. http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/power/29301-villasol-power-improving-rural-lives-through-renewable-energy Villasol power: Improving rural lives through renewable energy |

My brother, I was very impressed myself. Imagine what this can do for Nigeria's efforts of rural electrification and poverty alleviation!! The Villasol power project built and donated by Schneider Electric Nigeria has brought relief to the people of Asore. The once sleepy village is gradually lighting up as economic activities have started building up. The power project holds the possibility to unlocking the economic and productive capacities of Asore. Before this latest initiative, Asore community had no access to any form of electricity. This , because of its stand-alone ability and usage of free 'fuel' (sunlight) , would be a fantastic drive to pioneer as the original electrification solution for rural areas throughout Nigeria. Renewable energy plus independence from a grossly inadequate national grid. Win-win situation IMO. |

This is a good initiative though not the first one in subsaharan africa, i recently installed 24 of such systems in Benue, Kogi and Kwara states for an NCC sponsored project, it is a good one sha. |

hercules07: Well, the article says it is . Perhaps it is a case of a little self-promotion from Schneider. Guilaume Schoebel, Schneider’s vice president for Middle East and Africa, said the project was the first of its kind, not only in Nigeria but the entire sub-Sahara Africa, saying the project was the company’s pilot scheme to provide rural Nigeria communities with access to renewable energies. |

Gbawe na CSR project, they will big themselves up a little bit, infact in the same Ogun state, eight secondary schools were selected for the same NCC project, the only issue is the projects were not that well planned (that one na another story). I think these rural areas can use some of these technologies to make life a little bit better for themselves, especially in the area of economic activities. |
