Nigeria commissions 3.3 MW solar-plus-storage mini-grid at Yakubu Gowon University

SolarNews Brief

Nigeria has commissioned a 3.3 MW solar mini-grid with 2 MWh of battery storage at Yakubu Gowon University in Abuja. The system is designed to provide continuous electricity for teaching, laboratories, libraries and student services.

The campus project combines roughly 6,000 photovoltaic panels with a 2 MWh battery system and forms part of Nigeria's effort to improve power reliability at tertiary institutions. Government officials say dependable electricity should extend academic hours and improve conditions for students and faculty. The installation also demonstrates how institutional mini-grids can reduce dependence on diesel and unstable grid supply.
