Lagos State government and its development partners; A4&T Power Solutions Limited and Ikeja Electric Plc have said 12,500 residents in five communities in the Epe axis would benefit from the solar mini energy project embarked upon by the state government.

“The Lagos State government, via its Off-Grid Electrification Strategy and Action Plan, has set a target to achieve 1GW of Solar PV generation by 2030 and collaborative efforts of players in the sector, such as being witnessed today between A4&T Power Solutions Limited, and Ikeja Electric Plc, will help to accelerate the achievement of this target,’’ he said.
