Rensource Energy, a key player in Africa’s renewable energy sector, and Green Fuels, known for their clean gas solutions, have teamed up to launch a groundbreaking project for Valentine Chickens, a major poultry producer in Kwara State.
This ambitious partnership represents a pivotal moment, setting the stage for a future driven by clean, dependable energy.
It exemplifies how collaboration and innovation can propel sustainable development in an industry. The core of this project lies in equipping Valentine Chickens with a cutting-edge hybrid energy system.
This innovative solution combines solar photovoltaic (PV) technology with a gas-powered component. This ensures stable and uninterrupted power supply, crucial for the smooth operation of poultry farms with their specific temperature and ventilation requirements.
The initial phase focuses on a 717kWp solar PV system. During daylight hours, this system will be the primary source of energy, significantly reducing reliance on traditional and often unreliable diesel generators.
This shift translates into a cleaner and more affordable energy source for Valentine Chickens, minimizing their environmental footprint and operational costs. This initial 717kWp installation serves as the foundation for an even more ambitious vision.
It’s just the first step towards a comprehensive 4.8MWp hybrid system. This scalability ensures the project can adapt and grow alongside Valentine Chickens’ future needs.
As the company expands its operations, the energy solution can be seamlessly expanded to cater to their evolving requirements.
This project tackles two of the biggest challenges plaguing the Nigerian poultry industry: energy insecurity and environmental impact. By embracing renewable energy, Valentine Chickens sets a powerful example for the entire sector.
