Olam Agri and Husk Power have announced a groundbreaking commercial and industrial (C&I) solar project in Nigeria’s rice-producing region. This initiative will accelerate the transition of agriculture to sustainable energy infrastructure, significantly reducing reliance on expensive and polluting diesel generation. 

Under the partnership, Husk will deploy a 1.3 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system, integrated  with an 860 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS), at Olam Agri’s rice operations in  Rukubi, Nasarawa State. This shift to solar power not only represents a significant step in Olam  Agri’s efforts to cut diesel consumption but also towards a more sustainable and cleaner energy  future. Husk will supply power to Olam Agri under a 10-year power purchase agreement (PPA).  The solar-battery hybrid system will enhance voltage stability, ensuring a reliable power supply  while delivering fuel cost savings and substantially reducing carbon emissions. 

This latest initiative builds on Olam Agri’s broader commitment to integrating sustainable energy  solutions across its operations in Nigeria and beyond. In 2024, the Olam Agri rice farm  introduced a solar farm to power its mill operations, marking a milestone in its journey toward  clean energy. Over the past two years, Olam Agri has further expanded its renewable energy  efforts. Beyond solar, Olam Agri is implementing additional energy-saving initiatives, including  improving energy efficiency across its factories, adopting cleaner-burning fuels, and optimizing  production processes to minimize waste and emissions. These efforts align with Nigeria’s renewable energy goals and contribute to the global push for sustainable agricultural and food  production. 

Speaking on behalf of Olam Agri in Nigeria, Anil Nair, Country Head, emphasized the company’s unwavering commitment to sustainability, “Sustainability is at the heart of Olam  Agri’s operations, and this partnership with Husk Power is a significant step towards reducing our carbon footprint while ensuring a stable and cost-effective energy supply. By transitioning to solar power, we are improving the efficiency of our rice production in Rukubi and contributing to  Nigeria’s broader renewable energy goals. By implementing renewable energy solutions in  Nigeria, Olam Agri is not just meeting its own needs but inspiring others to follow suit and help  drive sustainability in the agricultural sector across Africa and beyond.” 

Nigeria’s government policies and regulations further support the partnership. These policies encourage private-sector investment in renewable energy and promote solar adoption in industrial and agricultural sectors. These policies are crucial in enabling companies like Olam  Agri to integrate clean energy solutions on a scale. 

Olu Aruike, Husk’s Country Director, highlighted Husk’s leadership in the sector, “Besides being  the market leader in Nigeria’s community solar mini-grid industry, Husk is committed to partnering with commercial & industrial (C&I) businesses to decarbonize key sectors of Nigeria’s economy, including agriculture. The partnership with Olam Agri aligns with Husk’s broader goal  of installing hundreds of MWs of C&I solar capacity in Nigeria and other regions of Sub-Saharan  Africa over the next five years.” 

Nigeria’s C&I solar market is rapidly expanding, with over 550MW of new solar capacity  expected to be added between 2025 and 2029. This partnership underscores Husk’s mission to  provide renewable energy solutions for businesses and industries, helping accelerate Nigeria’s  transition from diesel to solar power. 

By driving sustainability at scale, Husk and Olam Agri are setting a precedent for the adoption of  clean energy in agriculture and industrial sectors—not just in Nigeria but across Africa and  beyond.
