The Rural Electrification Agency has begun installation of decentralised Solar Home Systems in Makoko area of Lagos State, to bridge energy supply to underserved and off-grid communities.
He said given the agency’s role in providing access to electricity for unserved and underserved areas, the role being played here was more of a social service to mitigate the environmental and economic challenges of the community. “What is clear even in the immediate aftermath is that using a de-centralised approach toward electrification of communities such as Makoko is the right approach given the difficulty of operating a traditional grid system,” he said.
Ahmad said the agency was also mindful of the subsidy removal, adding that the solar project would also alleviate the suffering of people in the community.
