Dear Readers
I usually do not post much on West Africa, as this blog is dedicated to Eastern Africa. However, i thought i should include this story. Because as i blog the following scenario is about to replicate itself in Eastern and other parts of Africa.
With the success of the Chinese on the continent, the Indians are also flexing their muscle, seeking deals and enhancing trade ties on a supposedly equal partnership with African countries. A lesson should be learned on how Indians do business from the story below, a little is borrowed from the Chinese, a bit from the West and some is inherently the Indian way.
ABUJA: India and Nigeria have signed an agreement to locate sites for solar power plants in Niger state, the first of a series of power plant deals which would provide additional energy for African country's national grid.
The agreement was signed between Nigeria's permanent secretary in the Ministry of Power - Godknows Igali and the secretary to the Government of India, Sutanu Behuria.
With this agreement, Bharat Heavy Electricals will begin preliminary studies ahead of siting independent solar-powered plants in selected locations in Niger, a Nigerian newspaper, Daily Trust reported.
"Nigeria's power sector will remain open to investment with the hope of unbundling the sector's potential," Igali said after the signing.
Behuria expressed India's interest in the provision of funds in various forms for the development of Nigeria's power sector..
Solar power is all about harnessing the power of the sun to make power. The sun rainfall enough solar energy on the soil in one day to power the entire energy needs of the world for one year. Solar energy is considered a renewable power source because it will exist for as long as our sun does, estimated to be another 4.5 billion years. Solar power is furthermore considered a clean power because it does not make pollutants or byproducts hurtful to the natural environment.

India has boosted its installed solar capacity from just under 18MW in 2010, to more than 2,000MW, and the falling prices of photovoltaic cells, coupled with their improved efficiency have played a significant part in that progress. Over the period, the cost of solar generation has been steadily dropping - from about 18 rupees per kilowatt-hour then, to around 7 rupees today, according to figures from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
