Group pledges renewable energy promotion to 40% by 2030

The Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria (REAN) has reiterated its determination to promote renewable energy in the country to about 40 per cent by 2030.

Executive Secretary of REAN Ms Lande Abudu, said this in an interview in Abuja on Sunday, said renewable energy is from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power.

 Abudu said the association is adopting the use of local content to promote renewable energy to ensure that Nigerians have access to improved power supply. 

She said REAN members were doing a lot to ensure that by 2030 renewable energy reached about 40 per cent in the country. 

“Our members are doing a lot in the development of renewable energy from primary health care solutions, and solar power solutions among others.

“We cannot do anything without access to power, so we are trying to form part of the solutions to ensure that everybody have access to power,’’ she said. 

On the objectives of REAN, Abudu said that its aim was to promote the interest of members in the renewable energy industry among public and private organisations that may impact on the development of the industry.
