FG Unveils Mini Solar Grid For Lagos Communities
The Federal Government has commissioned a 505-kilowatt interconnected solar mini-grid in Epe, Lagos State, as part of efforts to improve electricity supply in underserved communities.
The project is expected to boost daily activities and support local businesses.
The facility was unveiled in the Majoda communities of Eredo in Epe Local Government Area.
Beneficiary communities include Odogbawojo, Odoshiwola, Odoayan, Ora and Ibowon, where residents have faced electricity challenges for years.
Authorities said the mini-grid will provide reliable power to more than 8,000 people, helping homes, schools and businesses operate more efficiently.
The project is also expected to support economic growth across the area.
Alongside the commissioning, the government flagged off plans for an additional five-megawatt mini-grid project.
Officials said the expansion forms part of a broader drive to increase energy access and improve living conditions in rural communities.
