Empower New Energy, a Norwegian renewable energy company, has signed a $6.5 million solar deal with Justrite, a Nigerian supermarket chain.

The deal is to replace diesel generation with solar photovoltaics and batteries at 10 Justrite stores.

According to the organisers, the energy exchange is designed for Norwegian companies to learn about Nigeria’s energy challenges and present green solutions.Commenting on the development, Huitfeldt said it was uplifting to witness companies with a solid background in the oil industry pushing forward in green technology.“The past year has made it very clear both in Africa and Europe how fragile we are when energy supplies are threatened,” Norway’s foreign minister said.

“Many Nigerian students have studied at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. And put their education to use when back home in Nigeria. “Their investment target of one thousand megawatt of solar power within the next seven years is both ambitious and impressive,” she said.“I have been told that diesel generators in this city represent more than fifteen thousand megawatt of power production, so the market is substantial.
