JOS – Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, on Tuesday declared that Plateau had emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s 750-million-dollar renewable energy programme, disclosing that about 10 interconnected solar mini-grid projects would be implemented across the state.
The governor made the disclosure in Pankshin Local Government Area while flagging off the construction of a 1.5-megawatt interconnected hybrid solar mini-grid, expressing confidence that Plateau would become a net exporter of electricity within the next two years.
He described the project as a major milestone in his administration’s drive to expand access to reliable electricity, stimulate industrialisation and attract investments through renewable energy.
