The Federal Government had increased the deployment of mini-grids to boost power supply in rural communities and help cushion the effect of the recent removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol.
This was disclosed in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by the Rural Electrification Agency, adding that the mini-grids would provide 24/7 electricity in the communities where they were deployed.
The Managing Director of the REA, Ahmed Salihijo, said the facility, just like others, would cut down the volume of PMS purchased by beneficiaries in the community.
He explained that through the Nigeria Electrification Project-Performance Based Grant initiative, over 80 similar mini-grids had been deployed across the country, ensuring equitable access to electricity.
