About 80 million Nigerians lack access to electricity.
Speaking during the Huawei Day 2025 Nigeria, managing director of REA Abba Aliyu noted that “REA is expected to provide stable power to 17.5 million residents, 237,000 MSMEs and 3,030 state-owned hospitals.”
“As rural electricity expansion is critical and Huawei’s string inverter allows storage scaling with each battery pack having a built-in energy optimiser, which achieves 24/7 real-time active balancing, making smart monitoring essential. Huawei’s Smart PV Management System enables string-level PV monitoring and cell-level battery management, which reduces on-site maintenance by 50 per cent and improves fault diagnosis speed by 80 per cent,” he added.
On his part, the managing director of Ventura, Engr. Obinna Agwu, a partner at Huawei Day, said:
“Together, we are lighting up a greener Nigeria with rural solar projects, including the Ebonyi rural solar project which uses Huawei SUN2000-100KTL inverters and LUNA2000-200kWh smart string energy storage systems (ESS). This site operates flawlessly with very high electricity availability.”
He added that the key advantages of using Huawei solutions include all-in-one modular design, future-proofed scalability, simplified operation and significantly reduced costs.
Head of Huawei Digital Power Nigeria, Cruise Ni, stated that the company will continue collaborating with partners to advance Nigeria’s energy transition, bringing stable, green, and sustainable power to more rural communities.
