Jennifer Morgan visit at solar powered healthcare facility in Nigeria

We were pleased to host State Secretary and Special Envoy for International Climate Action Jennifer Morgan from the Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany for the visit of a primary healthcare facility in Lagos, Nigeria, which has recently been equipped with a solar generator from the A2EI.

The solar generator is powering part of the equipment in the clinic, and more importantly is the power back-up for the facility when the grid is not working – which happens frequently. Dr. Segun Adaju, the founder of Consistent Energy Limited and former President of the Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria explained how solar energy can improve energy supply of public infrastructure such as healthcare facilities.

The visit was organised by the German Consulate in Lagos, represented by the Consul General, Mr. Börner and his deputy, Mr. Wolf. Thomas Duveau from the A2EI accompanied the State Secretary during her visit and presented both the solar generator concept as well as the Green Genset Facility recently launched. The benefits of monitoring and analysing the solar solutions via the open-source platform Prospect were also discussed.
