Nova Scotia Power Development Limited (NSPDL), has initiated a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc (NBET) for the development of one of the first solar photovoltaic plants in Nigeria. It is to be located in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, Leadershipreports.
The 80 MW power plant, described by stakeholders as a major milestone in Nigeria’s bid to emerge a giant in solar power, is expected to generate an estimated 200,000 MWh of clean, renewable energy per year, enough electricity to power over 200,000 Nigerian households.
The Nova Scotia Power project has been developed by CDIL, a Canadian renewable energy development company focused on Africa, and Business Process Solutions Consult Limited (BPS), a Nigerian strategic consulting firm. NSPDL plans to begin construction in 2017 with operations beginning a year later.
