The Katsina State Government has expressed interest in taking over the 10 megawatts windfarm in the State to boost electricity supply while integrating additional solar energy to expand the plant’s capacity. 

The State Governor, Dikko Umar Radda disclosed this during a strategic dialogue with the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, aimed at bolstering energy development partnerships between the Federal and State governments.

A statement on Wednesday said that the high-level meeting focused on aligning federal and state efforts to advance sustainable power infrastructure and expand electricity access in Katsina State.

The discussion centred on the utilization and proposed 10 megawatts Hybrid Wind Farm in Katsina State.

The Katsina State Government, through its partnership with Genesis Energy, expressed interest in taking over the wind farm, built by the Federal government, to enhance electricity supply in the state by integrating additional solar energy to expand the plant’s capacity.

Responding, the Minister commended Governor Radda for his visionary approach to energy development and his commitment to increasing energy access for the people of Katsina State. 

He emphasized that improved electricity supply will not only enhance the quality of life but also stimulate economic growth and development in the region.

Adelabu  welcomed the governor’s request , noting that the proposed initiative aligns with the Electricity Act 2023, which empowers sub-national governments to drive electricity development within their jurisdictions. 

He affirmed that the initiative is consistent with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which prioritizes universal energy access and the economic empowerment of all Nigerians through reliable and sustainable power supply.

He assured Governor Radda of the Federal Government’s readiness to collaborate with the  State Government to ensure a seamless concession process for the wind farm, and to support the state’s ambition to scale up electricity delivery for its people.
