Ashama Solar Power Station, is a planned 200 megawatts (270,000 hp) solar power plant in Nigeria. When completed, it is expected to be the largest solar power station in West Africa.[1]
Location
The power station is expected to occupy an estimated 304 hectares (750 acres) of real estate in a locality called Aniocha South, in the village of Ashama, in Delta State, in Southeastern Nigeria.[2] Ashama is located approximately 37 kilometres (23 mi), by road, west of the city of Asaba, where the state headquarters are located.[3] Ashama lies approximately 238 kilometres (148 mi) northwest of Port Harcourt, the fifth-largest city in Nigeria and the capital of Rivers State.[4]
Overview
According to the World Bank, an estimated 80 million Nigerians have no access to electricity. Of these, about 60 million spend an estimated NGN1.6 Trillion (approximately US$4.2 billion) annually, on the purchase, operation and maintenance of "fossil fuel generators". The Federal Government of Nigeria is promoting the use of renewable energy to mitigate a large fraction of the electricity deficit in the country.[1]
Developers
The power station is under development by a consortium comprising the corporate entities illustrated in the table below:[5]
| Rank | Development Partner | Domicile | Relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | B&S Power Holding | Singapore | Equity Investor |
| 2 | SunnyFred Global | Nigeria | Equity Investor |
| 3 | Green Plinth Africa | Nigeria | Consultant |
Benefits
This power station is expected to facilitate Nigeria avoid 200,000,000 tonnes (196,841,306 long tons; 220,462,262 short tons) of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This will keep the environment clean, and offer healthier lives to Nigerians. In addition, the power station is expected to reduce the number of families who harvest forests and woodlands for firewood and charcoal. The rate of deforestation in Nigeria in 2021 was estimated at 350,000 hectares (860,000 acres) per annum, equivalent to about 3.6 percent of the then prevailing area of forests and woodlands.[6]
