Appraisal of the Nigerian Power Sector 7 Plants 3 Plants 1 Plant Current Total Generating capacity 2600MWatts Country Population 167Million People % of Population connected to the Grid = 45% % of Population below Poverty Line = 65%

Appraisal of the Nigerian Power Sector Cont’d USA = 12,406 Nigeria = 108 Ghana = 431

Why Solar For Nigeria?  Relative Availability  Grid Expansion Complexities  Long life span with flexible maintenance plan.  Environmentally friendly.  Decline in cost with improved R&D.  Improved Efficiency and Reliability  Easy Installation and Expansion

Project Overview  Project Goals/ Objectives  Current Status  Project Justification

Initial Project Technical Model Generation Transmission Distribution  5KWatts of reliable off-grid Solar electricity to power about 20 homes.  40 interconnected 210watts solar panels  AHR, 24volts deep cycle batteries  5KWatts off-grid Inverter  80 Amperes Charge controller  Remote Monitoring Facilities  Hybrid Mini-grid Network consisting of;  Ring Network: 30mm Armoured Cable, covers settlement perimeter  Serial Network: 6mm Armoured cable tapped from Ring to Nodes.  Star connection from Nodes to Houses  Wiring of individual houses  Isolator and emergency devices at designated locations.  lighting points and sockets for appliances

Modified Project Model Our Model is a micro-scaled renewable energy system to efficiently meet the energy needs of remote settlements at the most economic cost to suite their income levels while generating marginal profits

 Our Niche  Opportunity/ Innovation  Why people will buy from us  Our competitors  Our competitive Edge  Market Expansion Strategy Market Analysis
