The Energizing Education Programme (EEP) is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative, implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), aimed at providing reliable and sustainable electricity to Federal Universities and its Affiliated Teaching Hospitals through solar hybrid power plants and rehabilitated distribution infrastructure.
The programme also includes the installation/renovation of streetlights to enhance security, establishment of a Renewable Energy Workshop & Training Centres (WTCs) for students to build local capacity, and the training of 20 female STEM students in the design and construction of renewable energy technology towards promoting gender inclusion and diversity in the energy sector.
