Niger State, Nigeria, is collaborating with the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) on a 100-MW solar power project estimated at $163 million. The project, announced on January 27, aims to address electricity shortages in underserved areas of central-north Nigeria.
The planned photovoltaic plant will cover approximately 200 hectares and is intended to enhance electricity supply in regions facing grid instability. Currently in the preparatory phase, the project includes technical feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments.
The IsDB is providing financial and technical support for the project, though a construction start date has not been announced. Nigeria's electricity supply heavily relies on the national grid, which has been unable to meet demand, leading to frequent outages and reliance on private generators.
