Kaduna Power Company in Nigeria recently announced plans to build a 100 megawatt solar power project, accompanied by a battery energy storage system. The company has signed a memorandum of understanding with J-Marine Logistics Limited and its major investor ASI Engineering Limited, marking a crucial step forward for the project.

The project plan will allocate 60 MW, 20 MW, 10 MW, and 10 MW of solar power to Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara, and Kebi states respectively, aiming to significantly improve the power supply situation in northern Nigeria. Umar Abubakar Hashidu, CEO of Kaduna Power Company, stated that the project will not only increase power supply, but also provide strong support for regional industrial development and sustainable economic growth.

It is worth noting that the partner J-Marine Logistics is considering setting up a solar panel production plant in Kaduna state, with an expected annual capacity of 200 MW to 500 MW, further improving the local photovoltaic industry chain. Previously, the Nigeria Rural Electrification Authority reached an agreement with Oando Clean Energy in March this year to build a 1.2 gigawatt solar module plant, demonstrating the country's determination to vigorously develop the photovoltaic industry.

According to data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), as of the end of 2024, Nigeria's cumulative installed solar capacity is 144 megawatts. The promotion of the 100 MW photovoltaic energy storage project will significantly increase the proportion of clean energy in the country and accelerate the process of energy structure transformation.
