Nigeria has started exporting locally produced solar panels to Ghana, marking a key milestone in its drive to become West Africa’s renewable energy hub.
Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, announced the development at the 2025 Nigeria Energy Forum in Lagos, noting that new solar factories can now produce up to four gigawatts annually — enough to meet domestic needs and serve regional markets.
He said the initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at boosting local production, innovation, and energy independence. The move follows partnerships formed at the 2025 Renewable Energy Innovation Forum, which attracted global investors to Nigeria’s clean energy sector.
Adelabu added that Nigeria has mobilised over $2 billion through partners such as the World Bank and JICA to expand renewable energy projects. He expressed confidence that the country’s growing solar capacity will make it a key supplier across the ECOWAS region and a leader in Africa’s green energy transition.
