Each facility, which is estimated to cost from $50 to $60m, will be implemented under the Nigerian German Energy Partnership, pv-tech reports.
In 2008, the partnership agreement was signed under which Germany will support Nigeria in adding 6.5GW of new power capacity including renewable sources such as solar and hydropower.
Except Kano and Nasarawa, seven states have expressed interests to get a 30MW solar plant each. These two states are planning to set up three or four plants in different parts.
The Nigerian aims to meet 5% of its energy demand from renewables by 2020.
