According to REA Managing Director Abubakar Aliyu, RAMCO will serve as a specialized platform for managing, optimizing, and sustainably maintaining renewable energy assets over the long term. The initiative is envisioned to bridge the gap between public infrastructure and private investment, enabling the efficient use of capital deployed in mature renewable energy assets. Aliyu highlighted the importance of asset maintenance, mentioning that various components of renewable energy systems have different lifespans, necessitating continuous upkeep and replacement.
