Nigerdock has completed the first phase of its shift to renewable energy sources through the installation of solar solutions at Snake Island Integrated Free Zone.
Speaking on the initiative, Nigerdock CEO, Maher Jarmakani, said the current solar operations enable Nigerdock to displace 40 percent of its daytime energy consumption, reduce CO2 output by about 2,000 metric tons, and achieve significant emission reduction targets.
“As a self-sustaining economic hub, improving our energy consumption and reducing our carbon footprint is pivotal to our long-term operations and success. Our renewable energy solution will provide us and our growing clientele with consistent power and greater ease to conduct business,” he said.
This project is part of a wider push by Nigerdock to develop 20MW of sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable power within the free zone.
