The Nigerian government has announced that the country now exports locally manufactured solar panels to Ghana.
The federal government said Nigeria’s electrification model is increasingly gaining recognition across the African continent.
According to officials, the country also has strong potential for solar deployments in border communities to support cross-border electricity trade.
They noted that such initiatives would help strengthen regional integration and improve energy security.
The Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Abba Aliyu, disclosed this during a recent event.
Aliyu revealed that the government has increased Nigeria’s solar panel manufacturing capacity to 300 megawatts from 120MW within two years through a $425 million investment plan.
“This momentum is being reinforced by approximately $425 million in investment earmarked for the establishment of 8 renewable energy manufacturing facilities across the country, alongside additional commitments secured at the Nigeria Renewable Energy Innovation Forum 2025,” he stated.
