The Federal Government through the Rural Electrification Agency has installed a 100-kilowatt solar-powered mini-grid system for farm
“This is 100 kilowatts and I am hearing that it is only powering 10 percent and so essentially, it means we are talking about one megawatt. In terms of the payment, it is not going to be free because this is something the government has done as a proof of concept so that we can create that environment for private developers to expand upon it.”
Speaking on behalf of the farmers in the village, the President of the Farmer Aquaculture Union, Eriwe Farm Village, Quadri Oriyomi said the project would relieve the farmers. He said “The project can only cover 10 percent because the land here is over 156 hectares where we have over 500 farmers.
