Nigeria's domestic solar panel manufacturing capacity has reached 300 megawatts (MW), up from 120MW recorded two years ago. The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) disclosed the increase, attributing it to ongoing investments in renewable energy infrastructure. Abba Aliyu, Managing Director of the REA, made the announcement during a webinar hosted by the African Association of Energy Journalists and Publishers. He added that a pipeline of solar projects totalling 3.7 gigawatts (GW) is currently in development. The expansion is part of efforts to improve electricity access, particularly in rural areas where grid connectivity remains limited. No specific timeline was provided for the completion of the pipeline projects.
