Nigeria has launched its first floating solar power project, a 7-megawatt facility, through an award given to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC). The solar installation will provide clean, reliable electricity to the University of Lagos (UNILAG), reducing reliance on diesel and national grid energies. Floating solar technology utilizes water surfaces for energy production, preserving land and enhancing efficiency through cooling effects. UNILAG's energy costs have significantly risen, making this project crucial for cutting expenses and improving electricity reliability.
