About the summit

Clean power from water the region already holds

Floating solar places photovoltaic arrays on the surface of existing reservoirs. It generates clean electricity without taking farmland or forest, and the panels shade the water beneath them, reducing evaporation and protecting supply.

This summit brings state commissioners, federal regulators, investors and international engineering partners together to align on a 150MWp pipeline across five dams in Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti, and to sign a Joint Communiqué on the regional blueprint.
