“I am told that before this intervention, traders in the (Ariaria) market only got 4 hours a day of electricity and paid exorbitantly for it, which consequently affected the viability of many businesses”
“The Energizing Education Programme is strategic to fulfilling Nigeria’s commitment to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change as we aim to reduce Nigeria’s carbon footprint using renewable energy technologies, in line with the Federal Government’s mandate and unwavering efforts to increase renewable energy.”
“Another important component of the Energizing Education Programme is the Female STEM Internship Programme, where 180 female students from Nine Universities received training in the design and construction of the solar hybrid power plant. Under the tutelage of the solar developer, these women received hands-on field and classroom training through the course of the project’s implementation.”
“The Ministry’s power policy specifically targets education to ensure that all federal universities, to begin with, have access to reliable electricity. Notably, the Energizing Education Programme was designed to involve students from project inception for project sustainability."
“A core part of the Energizing Education Programme is the practical and technical training of 20 female STEM students at each beneficiary university. This is where policy meets gender mainstreaming in the power sector and specifically on electrification projects.”
“NEP should be replicated in other African countries. It is far and away the most sophisticated electrification program we've seen.”
“Under the Energizing Education Programme, students will be responsible for the project’s sustainability, thanks to the technical and practical training our students received through construction,”
“We cannot end poverty without ending energy poverty.. Despite recent progress, the world is not on track to solve this problem by 2030. Now is the time to unleash the full potential of distributed energy by integrating the strengths of grid and off-grid systems in order to enable large-scale public-private partnerships.”
“Economies cannot develop in the dark..Close to 600 million people still don’t have access to electricity in Africa, and the majority live in rural areas. Grid expansion alone will not be enough to electrify these populations, but with a combination of distributed energy solutions and smart-grid expansion we can achieve universal, economically impactful electrification"
