Project Overview

Sokoto State, blessed with one of the highest solar radiation levels in West Africa, is developing a 55-megawatt solar power generation facility. This renewable energy project represents a major step toward addressing the state's energy deficit and supporting industrial development.

The solar farm will provide clean, sustainable electricity to the state grid, reducing dependence on the unreliable national grid and diesel generators. With exceptional solar resources averaging over 6.5 kWh/m²/day, Sokoto is ideally positioned for solar energy investment.

This PPP opportunity offers investors the chance to participate in Nigeria's growing renewable energy sector while contributing to climate change mitigation and sustainable development. The project includes provisions for off-grid mini-grids to serve rural communities and industrial clusters, creating a diversified revenue model.
