Ofosu South & Ofosu North Solar Hybrid Mini-Grid Development

Technical site leadership for two solar hybrid mini-grid projects in Ofosu, Ondo State, covering generation infrastructure, battery storage integration, LV/HV distribution networks, transformer installation, customer connections and commissioning activities.

Engineering Scope

Technical work and responsibilities

  • Lead generation-site construction activities including site marking, fencing layout, PV plinth marking, civil work monitoring and PV structure installation.

  • Supervise installation of 1,052 PV modules at Ofosu South and 1,100+ PV modules at Ofosu North including PV mounting, string configuration and DC cable installation.

  • Coordinate installation of eight 50 kW PV inverters, PVDBs, LVSG, SCADA panels, communication systems and monitoring infrastructure.

  • Supervise installation and integration of Firmar PCS and 1 MWh BESS systems with energy management and communication systems.

  • Coordinate installation of 500 kVA isolation transformer, 500 kVA step-down transformer, 550 kVA diesel generator and associated protection accessories.

  • Supervise HV and LV distribution network construction including pole erection, conductor stringing, stays, transformer installation, RMU installation and earthing works.

  • Coordinate installation of AC cables, DC cables, armoured cables, communication cables and cable management systems.

  • Monitor electrical testing including insulation resistance, continuity, polarity, earth resistance and commissioning preparation checks.

  • Oversee customer assessment, dropline measurement, smart metering, household wiring supervision and customer connection activities.

  • Coordinate contractor activities, quality inspections, technical reporting and as-built documentation.
