The Adamawa State Government has entered into a strategic partnership with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) to develop a 300MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm aimed at expanding renewable energy access and boosting the local economy.
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri announced the initiative on Monday via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, highlighting the project’s potential to attract a $1.9 billion investment and create 40,000 new jobs.
The proposed 300MW solar PV farm is expected to significantly enhance Adamawa’s electricity supply, reducing dependence on fossil fuels while promoting clean energy adoption.
