FG unveils plan to build 4GW solar factories, tackle power deficit
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, on Tuesday said the Federal Government was targeting the development of nearly four gigawatts of solar panel manufacturing capacity annually as part of ongoing efforts to domesticate Nigeria’s clean energy value chain and strengthen energy security.
Speaking at the Nigerian Renewable Energy Innovation Forum 2025 in Abuja, the minister said the administration of President Bola Tinubu was shifting focus from energy access to energy industrialisation by implementing the Nigerian First Policy, a strategy aimed at promoting homegrown production and innovation in renewable technologies.
He said, “Today’s forum is particularly significant because it highlights the role of innovation and domestic capability in achieving our renewable energy and energy transition goals.
“Through strategic partnerships being formalised here at NREIF 2025, Nigeria is on track to realise nearly 4 gigawatts per annum of solar manufacturing capacity.
