UBA & Renewvia Commission Solar Systems Across 25 Branches!

Reported by David Joshua | Sele Media Africa

United Bank for Africa (UBA) has taken a significant step toward sustainability by partnering with Renewvia Solar Nigeria to deploy advanced solar and battery hybrid systems across 25 of its branches located in five Nigerian states. [1]

The initiative — launched at a ribbon‑cutting ceremony held at UBA’s Oba Akran 2 branch in Ikeja, Lagos — was officiated by the Nordic Ambassador to Nigeria, Svein Bæra, symbolising strong Nigeria‑Norway cooperation in renewable energy. [1]

Under a 10‑year Power‑as‑a‑Service agreement, Renewvia will deliver clean energy systems that generate approximately 152,000 kWh of clean electricity each month — reducing UBA’s carbon footprint by over 89,000 kilogrammes of CO₂ monthly. The full rollout is expected to cover 50 locations across 18 states, representing 3 MWp solar capacity and 7 MWh of energy storage. [2]

Speaking at the event, UBA Deputy Managing Director Muyiwa Akinyemi emphasised that sustainability is integral to Africa’s future:
“This project demonstrates how innovation and partnership can deliver lasting impact … reducing our carbon footprint, improving operational efficiency, and contributing to a cleaner environment.” [3]

For Renewvia Solar Nigeria’s Managing Director, Adebowale Dosunmu, the project marks a “major milestone” in providing reliable, clean energy to Nigerian commercial and industrial clients. [1]

This collaboration places UBA at the forefront of corporate sustainability in Africa, and highlights how private‑sector innovation and international partnerships can drive the transition to cleaner, more reliable power across the continent.
