Nigeria’s Solar Energy Market: Trends, Best Practices and Prospects

Renewable energy sources play an increasingly significant role in microgrids. That said, integrating these sources comes with significant challenges, including grid instability, variable instantaneous production, energy storage management, etc. These challenges can be overcome, however, by analyzing meteorological and energy forecasts.In fact, using such forecasts represent a serious advantage, especially when they are integrated directly into the microgrid’s control system. A number of validation steps are needed to optimize this solution, however.As a leading player in the field of renewable energy integration, Nergica invites you to take advantage of this webinar to better understand how meteorological and energy forecasting is used on simulation equipment and full-scale infrastructure.

Combining solar power and energy storage technology is becoming an increasingly attractive approach to help commercial and industrial (C&I) energy users reduce energy spend. In fact, many C&I energy users have access to financing options that provide access to this technology without making an upfront investment.

A new incentive program the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) program compensates behind-the-meter solar power capacity in the state. While solar incentive programs are not new to Massachusetts, the SMART program creates a new opportunity for C&I energy users to integrate solar-plus-storage systems at no upfront cost, which can provide valuable off-grid power resources to reduce energy spend significantly while also earning payments through New England’s demand response programs.

The Clean Energy Solutions Center, in partnership with Mission Innovation and the India Ministry of Science and Technology, hosted this webinar on accelerating clean energy innovation in India. The webinar began with a brief overview of the Mission Innovation initiative, which aims to achieve clean energy technology performance breakthroughs and cost reductions. The 21 governments participating in Mission Innovation represent well over 80% of global public investment in clean energy research and development.
