### 20 MWp Utility-Scale Solar Power Station — Captive Industrial Supply
**Canonical URL:** https://resdac-systems.com//projects/captive-industrial-supply-nigeria/
**Location:** Nigeria, West Africa
**Eyebrow:** Project case study · Captive power

**Summary:**
- This case study presents the development, engineering and delivery of a 20 MWp utility-scale solar photovoltaic power station in Nigeria.
- Designed, installed and project-managed by RESDAC Systems Limited, the facility supplies renewable energy directly to a multi-industry industrial area operating as a captive customer through a dedicated 33kV distribution network.
- The project provides stable, cost-effective clean power while reducing dependence on diesel generation and an unstable grid.

**Metrics:**
- Installed solar PV: 20 MWp
- Ground-mounted modules: 40,000
- Direct industrial supply: 33kV
- Target availability: >99%

**Sustainability impact:**
- Reduced diesel generator consumption
- Lower carbon footprint and noise pollution
- More predictable industrial energy pricing
- A replicable model for industrial decarbonisation across West Africa

    <h2>Background and objectives</h2>
    <p>
      Nigeria's industrial sector faces grid unreliability, high diesel costs, voltage fluctuations and production
      downtime. A dedicated renewable facility was developed under a private-power arrangement to address those
      constraints.
