Nigeria's Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has vowed to put operators of generating sets out of business in rural communities as FG moves to provide renewable energy systems in the areas.
He spoke at the Nigerian Renewable Energy Roundtable in Abuja, yesterday, saying FG, through the Rural Electrification Agency was developing an energy database that will show community locations and energy demand profiles.
“We are doing 20,000 more homes in this first phase of this exercise and a Pay-As-You-Go system to 20,000 households to provide access to lighting and electric power for small devices. The plan is to expand the Solar Home System program to 1 million households, creating a few more million jobs.
“We are also championing the use of mobile money for solar home system payments to provide access to lighting and electric power for small devices,” he said.
