Solarge signs contract for solar panel production in Nigeria

Infrastructure Corporation of Nigeria (InfraCorp) has signed a contract with African Green Infrastructure Investment Bank (AfGIIB) and Solarge to build a lightweight solar panel factory in Africa.

The Dutch company Solarge, which produces its lightweight solar panels in Weert, previously announced that it saw opportunities to export the concept of its factory.

"
This partnership represents a pivotal moment in aligning our goals with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's vision for local manufacturing capabilities that drive employment, accelerate electrification, and foster economic growth," InfraCorp said of the Memorandum of Understanding. "And all this while Nigeria is being led towards decarbonisation in line with its energy transition commitments."

"We are proud and honoured to have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with InfraCorp and the African Green Infrastructure Investment Bank on behalf of Solarge at the UN climate summit COP 28 for large-scale production of our lightweight solar panels in Nigeria," said Gerard de Leede, chief technology officer of Solarge. "Our joint efforts will contribute to the realization of a sustainable and resilient energy future for the country."

The plant will produce lightweight solar panels with an ultra-low carbon footprint, making Nigeria "a global leader in sustainable local manufacturing and critical infrastructure," according to InfraCorp.

The initiative for the plant aligns closely with InfraCorp's commitment to sustainable development and growth of the economy, striving to provide climate-resilient infrastructure for a cleaner and greener Nigeria.

It's a good one and we pray we get there one day.


Hating your nation because your preferred candidate didn't win is like you refusing to take your medication because your preferred doctor didn't prescribe the drugs - you're harming yourself.

No matter who's there, if they succeed, we all succeed and if they don't, we all suffer for it. Why not support them and wish Nigeria well as it's the only country that can win and we all win.

Netherlands 🇳🇱 in Nigeria 🇳🇬 @NLinNigeria

viodemus:



Is a good news that will take time to build, 2 to 4 years.

When have the other side not acted selfish.

They are systematically using Nigeria's resources as collateral, but the region and neighborhood where the resources are coming from, are not in the development locations.


At least, let them put these in the middle belt.

Tessybied:


Do they hid good counsel? Never!!

The Solar PV manufacturing plant will be one of the first large scale production facilities in the world for lightweight solar panels with ultra-low carbon footprints

Themanleshey:
I know some people will be sad for waking up to read this kind of news .

Unpatriotic elements.

Themanleshey:


What resources are they getting from the middle belt ? Can you shed more light on this ?

Because this looks like a cook up story to me.
