Oando Clean Energy Unveils Nigeria’s First National Wind Map, Champions Clean Energy Transition at COP30
Oando Clean Energy Limited (OCEL), the renewable energy arm of Oando Plc, has strengthened Nigeria’s presence on the global climate stage with its active participation at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil. Joining the Lagos State delegation, the company reiterated its commitment to accelerating the country’s shift toward clean and sustainable energy through strategic investment, data-driven solutions, and collaboration.
Alongside organisations such as Greenplinth Africa Ltd, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), and the Impact Investors Foundation, OCEL represented Nigeria’s broader climate ambition and Africa’s determination to embrace cleaner energy pathways.
At the Global Renewables Hub Pavilion, OCEL—represented by its President, Ademola Ogunbanjo—officially launched the National Wind Capacity Report for Nigeria. The publication is the country’s first comprehensive mapping of wind resources across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, providing vital data to support infrastructure planning and future policy development.
Ogunbanjo described the report as a significant milestone in Nigeria’s climate action trajectory, emphasizing that data-backed insights are central to driving impactful and science-based solutions. He also underscored the role of sustainable urban development and collaboration in improving local economies while ensuring environmentally responsible growth.
“Africa’s energy transition cannot be achieved in isolation. Solutions exist, and partnership is the key to scaling them,” he said. Through collaboration between governments, private investors, and innovators, we can transform ambition into measurable impact.”
Beyond the report launch, OCEL showcased key projects under Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan (ETP). Among them is Project LightSpeed, an electric mass transit initiative already operational in Lagos, designed to deploy 12,000 electric vehicles and 5,000 charging units over seven years. The company also featured Project Solis, which aims to become Africa’s largest solar module assembly plant with an annual production capacity of 1.2 gigawatts—equivalent to two million solar modules.
These initiatives reflect OCEL’s long-term strategy to decarbonize Nigeria’s transport sector, deepen local manufacturing, expand local content, and drive sustainable economic growth.
Through its engagement at COP30, Oando Clean Energy reinforced Nigeria’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, aligning with Lagos State’s progressive climate agenda. The company’s presence further highlighted the crucial role of public-private partnerships in advancing scalable, impactful climate solutions across Africa.
