WATT Renewable, MPS Technologies Partner to Power Nigeria’s Digital Backbone with Solar-Hybrid Energy
By Naija Enquirer Staff
WATT Renewable Corporation has announced a strategic partnership with MPS Technologies, one of Nigeria’s leading digital infrastructure providers, to design and deploy advanced solar-hybrid energy systems across select sites nationwide.
WATT Renewable Corporation, a Canadian-registered private firm, specializes in hybrid-solar energy solutions powering critical industries across Africa. MPS Technologies, on the other hand, enables seamless connectivity through its expansive network of cellular sites, connectivity hubs, and data facilities—serving as a key pillar in Nigeria’s digital economy.
Expanding Sustainable Power for Digital Infrastructure
MPS Technologies currently operates over 700 cellular sites and data infrastructures across Nigeria, including mission-critical security facilities, connectivity hubs, and major data centers. Through this collaboration, WATT Renewable will supply clean and reliable energy to a portion of these sites, reinforcing Nigeria’s transition toward sustainable, low-carbon power systems.
“At MPS, we are committed to building resilient and secure infrastructure,” said Dr. Thomas Sule, who leads the company’s colocation business unit. “Partnering with WATT allows us to scale our operations sustainably and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s clean-energy transformation.”
Boosting Efficiency and Reducing Carbon Footprint
By integrating WATT’s solar-hybrid solutions, MPS stands to benefit from enhanced network uptime for critical infrastructure, reduced operational costs, and lower dependence on diesel generators. The partnership will also help cut carbon emissions in alignment with both national and global climate targets, while improving the operational security of key public safety networks.
The agreement underscores a shared vision to expand clean energy capacity for Nigeria’s fast-growing digital infrastructure and to support the nationwide rollout of energy-efficient, hybrid-powered sites.
Aligning with Nigeria’s Clean Energy Goals
This collaboration comes as Nigeria intensifies efforts to phase out diesel generators and adopt hybrid power systems. Vice President Kashim Shettima recently reaffirmed this commitment during the Decarbonizing Infrastructure in Nigeria Summit held on July 2, 2025, emphasizing that the country’s development ambitions must align with its climate goals.
“Our agreement with MPS is about powering Nigeria’s digital and security infrastructure backbone while driving measurable, sustainable economic impact across the nation,” said Oluwole Eweje, CEO of WATT Renewable Corporation. “Together, we are building the resilient infrastructure that millions of Nigerians will depend on for decades to come.”
The partnership marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s clean energy and digital infrastructure sectors—ushering in a new era of sustainable connectivity and climate-conscious growth.
