Stakeholders Oppose NERC's Plan to Wheel Excess Solar Power

Stakeholders in Nigeria's renewable energy sector have rejected the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's proposal to wheel excess solar power to the national grid. They argue that the country already generates sufficient solar power and faces challenges with grid support during outages.

The President of the Governing Council of the Nigeria Renewable Energy Energy Efficiency Association Alliance, Magnus Onuoha, expressed concerns over the proposal, citing the country's significant growth in solar energy production. The rejection highlights the sector's push for more sustainable energy practices and the need for efficient grid infrastructure to support renewable energy generation.
