According to Teibowei, Nigeria’s power sector’s carbon emissions will reach about 11.7 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2020, although they can be cut with innovations like microgrids.

In his words, “With the recent sustainability dilemma facing the world; rapid transformations in technology across all sectors, and the tripled advancement of cars, computers, phones, and daily technologies relied on, there is an ever-increasing demand for more energy than the 20th-century technology for technological power advancement.

Speaking further, he said, “Microgrids are self-contained electrical networks that draw from on-site energy sources and can operate independently of the grid,”. “They offer straightforward solutions for elevating energy resilience and clean energy”.
