A new 504-kilowatt interconnected mini-grid has been commissioned in Epe, Lagos, with plans for a 5MW expansion to follow.
Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, representing the Lagos East Senatorial District, stated that the project is designed to unlock business potential and create jobs by providing reliable power to the region.
The development addresses persistent energy instability in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital.
Power supply to the city has faced severe disruptions recently, including widespread outages after Eko Electricity Distribution Plc lost connection to the national grid.
Reliable electricity remains a critical bottleneck for commercial activity and industrial output in the region.
This infrastructure push aligns with broader investment trends in Lagos.
