Development of an Isolated Mini-Grid in Nsulu Community, Abia State

About the Project

The Nsulu Solar Hybrid Mini-Grid Project is being developed by Solar Force Nigeria Ltd in partnership with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) under the Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-Up (DARES) programme.

The project aims to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity to the Nsulu community through a solar hybrid isolated mini grid.

The project will serve approximately 1,071 residential, commercial, institutional, and community customers, with an estimated electricity demand of 604 kWh per day. The power system will include a 300.3 kWp solar photovoltaic (PV) plant, a 250 kW inverter system, a 645 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and a 150 kVA backup generator.

The distribution network will consist of low-voltage lines, utility poles, and smart prepaid meters.
