The Onirogbo 80Kwp Solar PV hybrid mini grid will be commissioned on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 in Onirogbo, a village in Odigbo Local Council of Ondo State.

The project was designed by Tripple E, utilising 100 per cent equity fund.

Acting Managing Director of Rural Electricity Agency, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, would commission the project.

Special Adviser to Ondo State Governor on Energy, Johnson Alabi; Ekiti State Commissioner for Infrastructure and Public Utilities, Prof. Bolaji Aluko, and Chief Executive of Tripple E Systems Associate Limited, Prof. Felix Dayo, will be present at the event.

The project was completed in May this year, and the community, estimated to be 1,000 people that are mostly farmers, will enjoy electricity supply as well as other villages.

Also, Charis Innovative Fabrication Ltd., a Greenfield Nigerian company, has planned to kick off a One MW Solar PV Hybrid Power plant to develop the energy supply infrastructure for its Greenfield pressure vessel fabrication factory for the Oil and Gas Industry that will be sited in Ondo City, Ondo State, Nigeria.

The work achieved so far for the power system of the factory, which will commence construction in the middle of the next quarter of 2024, (July-September), is a state-of-the-art Solar PV Hybrid Power System with a One MWp Solar PV Rooftop/Farm System, an integrated 1300kWh battery backup, and a One MWp standby propane generator.

Besides, the company has engaged in detailed discussion with three tertiary institutions (Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU) in Osun State, Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State and Elizade University in Ondo State) in designing and implementing sustainable energy solutions for them.
