As Nigeria continues to face challenges with unreliable power supply and escalating electricity tariffs, PPC Limited, a leading engineering and infrastructure development company, is taking bold steps to promote sustainable energy solutions. The company is leading a solar power revolution to enhance energy security and improve affordability for millions of Nigerians.
With over 85 million people lacking access to reliable electricity and businesses grappling with soaring operational costs due to power instability, the urgency for investment in alternative energy sources like solar power has never been more pressing. PPC’s Power Division is at the forefront, committed to delivering cutting-edge solar power solutions designed to reduce the nation’s dependence on the overstretched national grid and provide clean, affordable electricity.
Engr. Kelechi Onuigbo (PhD), Head of PPC’s Power Division, highlighted the critical role solar power can play in closing Nigeria’s energy gap. “The country’s power sector has long struggled with inadequate generation capacity and aging infrastructure. Rising electricity tariffs only add to the financial burden of households and businesses alike. At PPC, we are championing solar energy as a viable solution to these persistent challenges,” Engr. Onuigbo stated.
He explained that PPC’s solar solutions include scalable solar installations, hybrid systems, and smart energy storage solutions, all designed to offer Nigerians uninterrupted, cost-effective power. The company’s offerings cater to a wide range of applications, from residential estates to large-scale commercial and industrial projects. PPC’s collaboration with government agencies, private sector players, and development organizations is pivotal in accelerating solar energy adoption across the nation.
Engr. Onuigbo also stressed the importance of public-private partnerships in advancing solar energy. He called on both the government and private sector to join forces in creating an environment conducive to solar power investments. “Incentives, infrastructure support, and regulatory reforms are essential to making renewable energy more accessible and affordable to all Nigerians,” he added.
As Nigeria continues to battle energy instability, PPC Limited’s solar power initiatives promise a brighter, more sustainable future for the nation’s energy sector.
