As many residents making their living on seashores or on the islands have been denied the benefits of renewable energy due to the complex engineering involved in powering the island, a certain community called Gbagira located on the sea, at Ilaje local government in Ondo state was a beneficiary to A4&T’s resolve to deliver access to clean energy. This improves the standard of living and productivity of the residents in the community, most especially women and children. Located as one of the communities in the coastal area of Nigeria in the southwest region, the major occupation of the residents is fishing and aqua-processing. The mini-grid provides energy for the development of their businesses and brings lighting to their homes for children to read their books and progress academically.  Our partnership with PIND accelerated the implementation and we are glad to be part of the organizations delivering the UN SDG7 goal.

More so, other beneficiaries to the mini-grid were the youths in the Gbagira community as they went through rigorous Entrepreneurship solar installation skill-acquisition program. The training will help develop their careers and passion for renewable energy, giving them more understanding of climate change.

About A4&T POWER SOLUTION

A4&T was conceived in 2010, passionately driven to provide affordable eco-friendly renewable energy solution and backup power systems as an alternative to the unstable national grid and pollutant fuel-powered generators.

The incessant power outage leaves a wide energy demand gap in the economy; this ranges from low-income energy users in rural areas to high-profile ones in urban cities. It spans from local food industries in the villages to the ultra-modern industries in the city. It affects all the sectors of the economy like education, health, hospitality, etc. We know that over the years, our country relies on fuel-powered electricity generators to augment the unstable power supply received from National Grid and the need to provide an alternative to meet the effective demand of potential users could not be overemphasized.

We strive to replace the highly pollutant petrol/diesel electricity generators in our society. Our Products and Services were developed to cater for all classes of clients without leaving any stratum out. We are glad to be contributing immensely to the generation of clean energy in Nigeria.
