The EU Head of Mission to Nigeria, Ambassador Samuela Isopi said this when she visited the Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, on Friday in Abuja, noting that the money was apart from the about 200 million Euro grants invested in the sector since 2008.
Speaking on the EU’s various intervention programmes in the power sector, the Envoy said the current support would cover small hydro-power and solar for healthcare facilities.
Other areas to be covered in the current intervention are rural electrification with isolated and interconnected mini-grid projects, a circular economy.
According to her, the projects will commence soon.
