The Ogun State Government, along with two prominent renewable energy service companies (RESCOs), has formed a significant partnership agreement aimed at generating approximately 1,100 MW of solar power in the state to enhance its industrial foundation.
The companies involved are Tranos Contracting Limited, which will establish a 600MW solar panel manufacturing facility and battery production in the state, and Vision Gas and Power Limited, which will also set up a 500MW solar panel manufacturing plant with the potential for expansion to 1GW.
This partnership was formalized at the request of Nigeria's Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, representing President Bola Tinubu in Abuja during the Nigeria Renewable Energy Innovation Forum (NREIF) 2025, which is taking place from October 14th to 15th, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
