Delta State government have signed an MoU with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) to address its power deficit, where over 60% of communities are off-grid.
The agreement aims to provide electricity to 386,000 residents through 120,217 new connections, unlock $158 million in private investments, and boost the state’s $2.9 billion GDP.
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori emphasized that the partnership aligns with his MORE Agenda, promoting inclusive economic growth through renewable energy solutions like solar and wind power. The strategy includes mini-grids, solar farms, and hybrid systems, with an 8.5MW power plant in Asaba underway.
