Lagos Solar is an energy initiative by the Lagos State Government, focused on implementing embedded solar power solutions for public facilities. This project aims to deliver 5MW of sustainable solar power to all rural, riverine and public boarding Secondary Schools (172 Schools) and 11 PHCs located within the rural areas.To demonstrate on a large scale that solar is entirely reliable for power generation, Lagos State Government through the Lagos State Electricity Board, has collaborated with the UK Department for International Development (DFID) to co-fund this groundbreaking project.Although, past failures of solar installations in Nigeria have reflected poorly on the use of solar technology, the Lagos State Electricity Board has tested and proven that the failures were due to poor design and badly managed systems, contracts and programs rather than the solar technology itself.
