Nigeria’s Kano State is to receive two new 30 MW wind mills to power its manufacturing industries. The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), behind the project, said the wind mill will transmit and distribute electricity to industries in Bompai and other areas upon completion.
This will be in addition to the two gas plants located in Lagos and Ogun that combined have a cost of more than $150 million.
MAN President, Alhaji Bashir Borodo, who disclosed the updates in a telephone interview with Nigerian newspaper Vanguard, said that the contract for wind energy had been signed with a foreign technical partner to start work on the first phase of the wind turbines, which he said is 30 MW.
