The Federal Government begins construction of a 13.92-megawatt-peak (MWp) interconnected hybrid solar mini-grid project across multiple locations in Yobe State. The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) announces the start of work following the flag-off of the initiative, which covers sites in or around Damaturu, Bade, Nguru, and Potiskum, among other locations listed by the agency. Punch reports that the project is intended to expand electricity access and support economic activities in the state. Daily Post Nigeria similarly states that REA is implementing the solar mini-grid under the federal programme and that the systems are designed as interconnected hybrid mini-grids. Both outlets frame the announcement as an early stage of the project lifecycle, with construction commencing after the flag-off event. The reported capacity of the overall programme remains 13.92MWp, and both accounts attribute the announcement to the REA on behalf of the Federal Government. No additional details about commissioning timelines, financing, or the number of final beneficiary communities are provided in the excerpts.
