“After months of rigorous due-diligence and pre-development exercises, we are now confident that Nigeria, which is strategically positioned in the sub-Saharan region of Africa with abundant solar resources, now has a robust regulatory framework and enormous electricity demand both of which are key components for the successful establishment and operation of solar PV plants with excellent return on investment,” the company said in a statement.

Mike Judge, CEO of Luxra UK, told PV Tech that the national and state governments have indicated a commitment to solar. According to Judge, solar is viewed by Delta state officials as a means to tackling persistent power cuts.

The company is now looking for financial partners to work with it in Nigeria, as well as securing the necessary land rights, permits and PPA for the projects.
