The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation has concluded plans to set up a renewable energy plant that would use agro products to generate energy.

Its Group General Manager in charge of Renewable Energy Division, Mr Rabiu Suleiman, stated this on Tuesday during a courtesy call on Governor Samuel Ortom. Suleiman said the project, which would cost about $300 million, would be financed through joint partnership with foreign partners.

He said the corporation had already secured technical partners that were ready to support the project.

Rabiu said the decision to diversify energy generation from existing sources to agricultural products was conceived by the Federal Government in 2005 but had been in the pipeline. He said that the incumbent administration of President Muhammadu Buhari had already taken initiatives to begin the diversification programme.
