On Friday, December 9, 2026, the Bende community witnessed a momentous occasion as Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu officially commissioned the 1000KVA Solar Electricity Project.

This significant development aims to address the longstanding electricity challenges that have plagued the Community, marking a pivotal step forward in the quest for sustainable energy solutions.

This project is the second phase of Kalu's ambitious clean energy distribution initiative, which began with the successful commissioning of the first phase in 2022.

The journey to this achievement was not without its hurdles.

Despite facing numerous challenges, including logistical issues and funding constraints, Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu's unwavering determination and commitment to his constituents have finally borne fruit.

The completion of this solar electricity project is a testament to his perseverance and dedication to improving the lives of the people in Bende.

The project boasts an impressive infrastructure, featuring over 1,500 solar panels, which are supported by step-up transformers at the generation station and step-down transformers at designated substations.

Additionally, the installation of advanced lithium battery systems, designed to last up to 25 years, ensures that the energy produced is not only sustainable but also reliable.

This robust framework guarantees a long-term positive impact on the community, providing a stable source of electricity for years to come.

The implications of this project extend far beyond mere electricity supply.

For farmers, small business owners, and the broader community, the availability of reliable power is expected to enhance productivity and support economic activities.

With improved access to electricity, local businesses can operate more efficiently, and farmers can utilize modern agricultural techniques that require power, ultimately leading to an improved quality of life for all residents.

In his address during the commissioning ceremony, Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu expressed heartfelt gratitude to his constituents for their patience, support, and prayers throughout the project's development.

He emphasized that this achievement is not just a personal victory but a collective triumph for the entire community.

Kalu reaffirmed his commitment to delivering the dividends of democracy, stating that he will continue to work tirelessly to ensure improved living standards for the people of Bende Federal Constituency and beyond.

As the community celebrates this significant milestone, the 1000KVA Solar Electricity Project stands as a beacon of hope and progress.

It symbolizes the potential for sustainable development through clean energy solutions, paving the way for a brighter future for the people of Bende.

With leaders like Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu at the helm, the promise of a better tomorrow is within reach, and the community can look forward to a new era of growth and prosperity.
