Along with its consortium partner, Sun Africa, Sterling and Wilson Solar Solutions, the US-based company of Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy, has signed an agreement with the Nigerian government to construct solar and storage projects in Nigeria.
The combined efforts of Sterling and Wilson Solar Solutions will create 455 MWh of battery storage and 961 MWp of solar installations. Five distinct areas will be used to construct the projects. The government-owned Niger Delta Power Holding Co. would be their owner and operator.
“The future of power generation in Africa will be solar energy coupled with energy storage”, according to Amit Jain, worldwide CEO of Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Group.
Through a 90 MWp project in De Aar, South Africa, Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy entered the African market in 2015.
