Azura Power West Africa establishes N900m solar car park

Azura Power West Africa has created a N900m, 240 KW installation of solar car park at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).

In the statement issued by the Head of Corporate Affairs, Azura Power West Africa, Murtala Bello revealed that this specific plan is part of Azura Power’s “Power to Change” programme which aids in the development of local communities.

He further noted that the project will be unveiled by the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. This project is connected to the country’s energy transition goals and President Tinubu’s power reforms.

He said, “Every year, Azura Power allocates $1m to support projects that promote sustainable livelihoods, health, education, and infrastructure. The solar car park is not merely an addition to the university’s facilities; it represents a significant step towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering educational and social development through renewable energy.

“As Nigeria embarks on its energy transition journey, Azura Power is honoured to contribute to this vital endeavor. The solar installation at UNN will cater for approximately 2,650 engineering students, meeting 75% of the faculty’s energy needs. It is projected to generate over 400,000 kWh of clean energy annually, providing a consistent power supply that will enhance learning.”
