The project aims to combine large-scale renewable energy generation with steel production to address Nigeria's electricity shortage and boost industrial production. The Niger State Government has allocated 500 hectares of land in Sabon Wuse, Tafa Local Government Area, near Abuja, for the project, which will be located alongside the AIG Industrial Park. The project is expected to serve as a model for energy-intensive industries seeking alternatives to Nigeria's unreliable national grid. |
