Monday, October 20, 2025 - The Kano State Government has secured multi-billion investments in renewable energy through the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with two leading renewable energy companies, Tricell Solar Solutions and IRS Green Energy Limited.
The agreements, signed in collaboration with the Rural
Electrification Agency (REA) for technical advisory and coordination support,
were formalised during the Nigeria Renewable Energy Innovation Forum (NERIF)
2025, held on Tuesday in Abuja.
Representing the Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir
Yusuf, at the signing ceremony, the Director General of Kan-Invest, Nazir
Halliru, said the investments mark a major step in the government’s ongoing
efforts to expand access to clean and affordable energy, promote local
manufacturing, and create job opportunities for the people of Kano State.
Under the new arrangements, IRS Green Energy Limited will
establish a solar panel manufacturing plant with an annual production capacity
of 600MW, while Tricell Solar Solutions will set up another with 500MW
capacity. The two projects are expected to make Kano a regional hub for
renewable energy production and green industrialisation.
The forum was declared open by the Vice President, Kashim
Shettima, while the Managing Director/CEO of the Rural Electrification Agency,
Abba Aliyu, reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to partnering with state
governments to drive Nigeria’s renewable energy ambitions through policy
continuity, investor confidence, and coordinated development efforts.
The Kano State Government expressed appreciation to the REA
and its private sector partners for their confidence in the state, pledging
continued collaboration and a favourable investment climate to ensure
successful implementation.
With this development, Kano State is positioning itself as a
renewable energy and green manufacturing hub in West Africa, driving progress,
prosperity, and sustainability for generations to come.
