Tinubu Unveils Record-Breaking Solar Plant at FUTO
The Federal Government has completed an 8.54 Megawatts Peak solar hybrid power plant at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), marking a significant milestone in the country’s pursuit of sustainable energy.
This groundbreaking project is the largest solar hybrid plant installed in a Nigerian tertiary institution. It demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing reliable and cost-effective electricity to critical national assets.
The FUTO solar plant is designed to reduce the university’s dependence on diesel generators, lower energy costs, and ensure uninterrupted power supply to key facilities.
This development is expected to boost academic productivity and create a conducive environment for students and staff.
The project aligns with the government’s plan to diversify Nigeria’s energy mix and promote renewable energy adoption.
It also reflects the administration’s commitment to innovation, youth empowerment, and climate-smart energy solutions.
The solar hybrid facility features advanced battery storage systems and backup solutions, ensuring a stable power supply.
This development will transform FUTO into a model of energy sustainability, benefiting the entire academic community.
The Federal Ministry of Power and its implementing partners have been working to roll out solar hybrid projects across universities, teaching hospitals, and rural communities.
This initiative aims to stimulate economic growth through technology-driven investments and promote sustainable energy solutions.
The completion of the FUTO solar plant is a significant step towards addressing the country’s energy challenges. It showcases the government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and promoting sustainable development in Nigerian universities.
