The Chief Executive Officer of Nigerdock, Maher Jarmakani, announced that the company has finalized plans to increase its focus on renewable energy. In a statement on Friday, Jarmakani said the first phase of this transition has been completed with the installation of solar solutions at the Snake Island Integrated Free Zone. The new system will enable Nigerdock to displace 40 percent of its daytime energy consumption and cut CO₂ emissions by approximately 2,000 metric tons, helping the company meet its emission‑reduction targets.
Jarmakani emphasized that, as a self‑sustaining economic hub, improving energy use and lowering the carbon footprint are essential for Nigerdock’s long‑term operations and success. “Our renewable‑energy solution will provide us and our growing clientele with consistent power and greater ease to conduct business,” he said.
The solar project is part of a broader initiative to develop 20 megawatts of sustainable, cost‑effective, and reliable power within the free zone. Jarmakani described the expansion as the next step toward achieving green‑port status. He also highlighted Nigerdock’s commitment to Nigeria’s Climate Change Act, the blue economy, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
