Off-Grid Solar Power Feasibility Study for Nigerian Airports
As part of PriVida’s clean energy infrastructure portfolio, this initiative sets out a scalable model for decarbonizing airport operations across Nigeria through reliable, utility-scale solar power. The project addresses the high energy intensity and reliability demands of airports by replacing diesel-dependent power systems with resilient, low-carbon energy solutions designed for continuous operation.
The solution is based on a 10 MW solar generation platform integrated with battery energy storage, engineered to deliver 24-hour power for critical airport infrastructure. The system is designed to meet full operational loads, improve power reliability, and significantly reduce exposure to fuel price volatility, outages, and long-term operating risks associated with conventional generation.
The project delivers compelling economic and environmental value, including substantial long-term cost savings, elimination of diesel fuel consumption, and annual avoidance of more than 11,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Additional upside is created through carbon credit opportunities, attractive investment returns, and lower lifecycle operating costs.
Overall, the initiative demonstrates PriVida’s capability to deliver bankable, large-scale renewable energy solutions for airports in Nigeria, strengthening energy resilience while accelerating the transition to sustainable, low-carbon aviation infrastructure.
