The Federal Government commissioned a 1-megawatt solar mini-grid project in Tallasse, Balanga Local Government Area, which provides electricity after a 17-year blackout. This project includes a 2.4-megawatt-hour battery storage unit and serves 6,028 connections. The commissioning also marked the launch of a 16-megawatt network across Dukku, Bajoga, Kumo, and Kaltungo communities in Gombe State.
