- Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Haske Solar Company Ltd, for the supply of 10MW solar energy.
- The Haske Solar Plant is located within the Challawa Industrial Cluster in Kano.
The facility was built by the Federal Government through the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) and is managed by the Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI).
Commenting on the development, Jimeta said, “This partnership is a major step forward in our commitment to delivering reliable and sustainable electricity to our customers; by integrating solar power into our supply mix, we are not only improving network efficiency but also contributing to Nigeria’s energy transition goals,” said Abubakar Shuaibu Jimeta, MD/CEO of KEDCO.
“Purchasing 10MW from Haske Solar Power Plant is part of the bigger picture towards ensuring energy security within the network, enabling key industries and socio-economic activities to thrive in Kano, Katsina, and Jigawa States while safeguarding jobs and competitiveness in our network. We have already begun energy offtake, evacuating the energy through our Abattoir Injection Substation and supplying our industrial customers within the cluster through NBC 11kV and Ceramic 11kV Feeders,” added Jimeta.
