Why must be kastina,instead of Enugu or abia even onitsha,that's were de hv factories and industries!

Tell those governors to attract such investment. This is a state government initiative

Freaking awesome news again! Jeez today just keeps giving me a gift after another! Innoson, Ladol & Samsung, now Katsina and Germany... This day is the day the Lord made truly.


Also I have to ask why Nigeria isn't big in sister-state agreements? If a state like Plateau becomes sister state with for example California the tin ore that Joseph has by the tonnes can have a steady market, as well as providing a steady stream of wealthy tourists that Joseph most certainly is in need of.

Well,ask the governors of those states you mentioned!

I am more interested in the cost of the project, it would be nice to compare with hydro and gas

That is just it. Sustainability matters a lot.

Exactly what we should be doing by now! So many people can afford industrial solar system!

These people who can afford it should use it as a means of making money by supplying back to the grid via a consumer meter! At the end of the month, PHCN calculate the amount that has being supplied to the grid, pay them, enjoy tax and together everyone is happy! Solar might not be cheap to establish, but in the long-run, its almost free.

The logic we need to start applying!

nice one!

funny thing though is that solar is getting so cheap by the day. the only thing not dropping price are energy storage batteries, deep cycle.

back then a 300 watt panel used to be as high as 150k, now you can get one for 60k. I'm sure 5 years from now, it'd be even cheaper.

I was shocked on a Euro trip, when I saw like 1 in 5 houses with solar panels on the roof. I was thinking like, these guys already have 24/7 electricity and yet are still installing individual home panels, wow!!

It's definitely the future!

Steinlein also stated that generation cost for all renewable sources are now at the same level as for fossil fuels without additional external risks such as air pollution and disposal, adding, “let us not forget that renewable energy plants do not require any kind of logistics for fuel supply. It is therefore not surprising that the global capacity in renewables has more than doubled since the beginning of the millennium.”

Renewable energy sources still pose very expensive startup cost, don't believe the hype!

It is however a welcome development

125MW of electricity through solar panels!
Meeehn! Edo state for like this type of things.agro will flourish like mad

This is no huge feat. There are companies on ground here in Nigeria that can deliver even more.

See www.solynta.com.ng

If only Delta state governor Ifeanyi Okowa can do similar thing, the state has been very unfortunate to have bad leaders since the beginning of this democratic dispensation. Now the youths are restive, the atmosphere is charged and no government policy or action to show that things will improve soon. Udu local government and environs is the most backward LGA and criminal infested. Chio! !

Our states were created out of "divided we stand", and sharing of Oil royalties.

Who told you Solar Panels?
There is Solar Thermal. Mirrors and lenses to concentrate dolar rays to heat boilers. Turbine drives generators. Molten salt stores heat for 25 hour operation. Please try to stay informed. 125MW through solar panels will occupy a whole village.

Hours of direct sunlight and open space ( low vegetation) come to mind.

Wetin Oshio dey do ? How much he don spend to develop Edo ?

What happened to the wind farm they experimented with before?

Wind farm are expensive when it comes to o sustainabilty

Actually there has been a lot of improvements in solar panel efficiency and solar panels can easily be installed in occupied areas ie. e. installation on rooftops etc

Yes they are. Lots of money was spent on that one farm, what happened to it, how many watts is it contributing to the national grid?
