Speaking at the launch in Abuja yesterday,he said,”Our platform aggregates multiple stakeholders, ensuring customers can seamlessly access high-quality solar power.”
“That’s why we created Groupower, the Uber of solar power,’ to provide a sustainable solution for Nigerians.”
“We have assembled a network of technical, installation, training, financial, and insurance partners to ensure Nigerians receive the correct solar power at the correct price,”
“We aim to expand across Africa, leveraging technology and partnerships to make solar power accessible to all,” Russell said.
Also speaking, the executive director, Technical Services, Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Umar Abdullahi said,” I would like to thank Groupower for this initiative at this critical time where renewable energy, especially solar, is at the forefront of energy in Nigeria.
“We have about twenty million Nigerians with little or no access to electricity and at REA,our mandate to electrify the rural areas in Nigeria is a huge task ahead of us.
That is why collaborations with organisations like Groupower can help us fulfil our mandate.” Umar stated.
