Chinese Coy, Nigeria’s Bauchi State Sign Agreement for 30MW Alternative Energy Source
“CCECC (has) sealed an agreement for a 30MW solar power project in Bauchi State, Nigeria!”.
These were the words of CCECC’s John Zhao, in a post on his official X handle Monday, celebrating the Chinese company’s signing of an agreement with the Bauchi State government for a 30MW solar power project and an extensive distribution network in the state.
In the project the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) shall provide and install a centralized photovoltaic (PV) modules, energy storage systems, the construction of a state-of-the-art energy control center, and the development of transmission lines and distribution facilities.
The agreement between Bauchi State and CCECC is poised to improve electricity access, enhance energy reliability, spur economic growth, attract investment, provide sustainable energy to underserved communities, and support Nigeria’s broader energy transition and infrastructure development.
Lately, Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto among other Northern states have made moves to provide its people with solar and hydro power sources to escape incessant national power grid collapse.
