Tegbe Commends REA, Commissions 505kWp Interconnected Solar Mini-grid in Epe
The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe has declared that the projects being embarked on by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) is measurably changing the lives of Nigerians across the country.
Delivering the keynote address at the official commissioning of a landmark 505kWp interconnected solar mini-grid project in the Eredo community of Epe, Lagos State, Tegbe hailed the leadership of the agency noting that the Agency has, in recent years, undergone a remarkable transformation.
“The REA has in recent years, undergone a remarkable transformation, a body of admirable mandate but modest delivery, into an institution that is genuinely, visibly, measurably changing lives across Nigeria. Community by community, kilowatt by kilowatt, life by life. Dr. Abba Aliyu, your Agency, your team, and your developers deserve the gratitude of the nation,” Tegbe said.
The project, delivered under the Interconnected Mini-Grid Acceleration Scheme (IMAS), is a direct product of the Electricity Act 2023, which has decentralized electricity governance and opened the doors wide for private sector investments.
