The
Federal Government of Nigeria has revealed that 450MW power would be generated
from solar in a bid to boost the electricity supply in the nation.
The
Vice President, Namadi Sambo made this known recently at lunch organised by the
Nigerian communications commission on the ongoing International
Telecommunication Union’s Telecoms World Forum 2012, which held in Dubai,
United Arab Emirates.
According
to him, the federal government had already signed an agreement with SIEMENS in
executing the project.
For
the fact that the Information Communications Technology industries cannot grow
in an island, he said the federal government will not relent efforts towards providing
adequate power supply through other means.
DigitalSENSE News learnt that other alternate
sources of power listed by the vice president include hydro thermal, solar,
wind, waste-to-power and garbage-to-energy.
He
also affirmed that the present administration has improved power generation
from about 2,000MW to about 4,300MW and that 10 new thermal power plants that
would add another 5,000MW are at their advanced stage of completion.
All
the projects, he said were designed to ensure stability of power supply in the
nation.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
