The agreement was signed between Nigeria's permanent secretary in the Ministry of Power Godknows Igali and the secretary to the Government of India, Sutanu Behuria.
With this agreement, Bharat Heavy Electricals will begin preliminary studies ahead of siting independent solar-powered plants in selected locations in Niger, a Nigerian newspaper, Daily Trust reported.
"Nigeria's power sector will remain open to investment with the hope of unbundling the sector's potential," Igali said after the signing.
