Jinko ESS Commissions 1MWp/1.08MWh Hybrid Energy Project in Oyo State, Nigeria

Jinko ESS, a global leading energy storage company, successfully deployed  and commissioned a 1MWp Solar PV system paired with a 1.08MWh Air-cooled Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Oyo State, Nigeria. This installation forms a critical part of the 11MW hybrid power initiative launched by the Oyo State Government to enhance energy access and sustainability across the region.

The project is owned by Elektron, with Royal Power and Energy Limited, a trusted partner in Nigeria, serving as the EPC contractor for the solar plant. The hybrid system, fully integrated with a gas turbine, is designed to deliver stable, reliable electricity to critical government facilities, while also powering public lighting across a 10-kilometer radius under the state’s flagship “Light-Up Oyo” initiative.

“This project is a strong demonstration of what public-private partnerships can achieve in accelerating the clean energy transition in Africa,” said  Lukmon Abdulrasheed,  Technical Service Supervisor, Jinko ESS. “By reducing carbon emissions and strengthening energy reliability for public infrastructure, the Ibadan Hybrid Project stands as a model for sustainable development in the region.”

Jinko remains committed to supporting Africa’s energy transformation through innovative, scalable, and sustainable solutions that deliver long-term impact.
