SDG 7- Affordable and Clean Energy

Introduction

At Redeemer's University, our mission for Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy is to ensure access to reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. We are dedicated to advancing research and innovation in clean energy technologies while promoting energy efficiency and sustainability both on campus and within the broader community.

Our university boasts a team of dedicated researchers focused on exploring solutions for clean energy generation and energy efficiency. These experts contribute to the development of policies aimed at advancing clean energy technology in Nigeria and beyond. On campus, we are committed to improving energy generation, with several buildings and locations now powered by solar energy, reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

As part of our local community outreach, we engage with the surrounding communities to promote energy efficiency practices and raise awareness about the benefits of sustainable energy solutions. These efforts are aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving the quality of life for local residents by making energy more affordable and environmentally friendly.

Through research, policy development, and community engagement, Redeemer's University is leading the charge toward achieving Affordable and Clean Energy for all.
