The rising cost of electricity in doing business is a major thorn in the flesh of budding entrepreneurs and even already established large scale firms in third world countries. The trend is gradually changing as Actis UK, along with CrossBoundary inaugurated a 609Kwp Solar Hybrid project at Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja a year ago.
