NEW ERA ENERGY IN DISCUSSIONS WITH NIGER STATE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY


(Feb 2013) Niger State is one of the largest agricultural producers in Nigeria.  The State government wants to transform agriculture by being able to produce all year – dry and wet seasons.  NEW ERA ENERGY is in discussion to provide a range of wind, solar and biomass energy solutions that will meet the needs of the State.

NEW ERA ENERGY TO PILOT WIND TRACKERS IN KOGI STATE

(Feb 2013) The rivers Niger and Benue that run through Kogi State have significant all year water flows.  Kogi State is finalising discussions with NEW ERA ENERGY to pilot Solar Trackers that will lift hundreds of cubic metres of water per day per system.  The water capacity is required to enable dry season rice farming across tens of thousands of hectares.  The Solar Tracker Systems will transform agriculture in Kogi State. 

NEW ERA ENERGY ANNOUNCES BIOMASS AND BIOGAS POWER SYSTEMS

(Feb 2013) Nigeria produces huge amounts of civic and agricultural waste.  At the moment all of this is disposed of or burned.  NEW ERA ENERGY is working closely with leading engineering companies to bring Energy from Biomass and Energy from Waste solutions to Nigeria.  Where energy from the grid is not reliable or not available at all, our renewable energy specialists can propose one of our pre-packaged solutions or design a bespoke system to meet all of your energy needs. We can supply a variety of small, medium and large solutions that use biomass as their primary fuel to run gas-fired turbines. These in turn generate both electricity and residual heat that can used for industrial purposes or general heating of water. The feed stocks for fuel can vary widely from agricultural by-products such as maize and rice silage, to animal waste slurry; larger plants can provide substantial amounts of energy from landfill gas and organic municipal waste as well as large scale agricultural farms and abattoir wastes.

NEW ERA ENERGY ANNOUNCES SOLAR TRACKERS


(Jan 2013) Since not all parts of Nigeria have wind strengths suitable for wind powered solutions NEW ERA ENERGY, with exclusive partnerships with Europe’s leading solar power companies, has extended its product portfolio to include solar trackers.  Solar trackers instead of having fixed solar panels have the panels on a mast that, similarly to a wind turbine, allow the solar panels to rotate and tilt so as to be optimally aligned to the sun at all times of daylight hours.  The power advantage in Nigeria can be as much as 30-50% over traditional solar panels.
