TranESS C&I, the commercial and industrial energy storage business unit of Transsion Holdings, has expanded its investment in Nigeria’s education and clean energy sectors with the launch of a Youth Talent in Energy Storage Programme.

The organization also signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Al-Ansar Foundation.

The initiatives were announced during the company’s inaugural “Empowering Education, Illuminating the Future” Education Industry Summit, held in Abuja.

The summit brought together private school proprietors, university administrators, education leaders, industry experts and government stakeholders to discuss the impact of unreliable electricity on educational institutions across Nigeria.

Discussions focused on the growing financial and operational costs associated with inconsistent power supply and explored practical solutions for strengthening learning environments through commercial and industrial energy storage technologies.

Speaking at the event, Charlie Wang, C&I Sales Director at TranESS, reaffirmed Transsion Holdings’ long-term commitment to Africa, highlighting the company’s continued investment in sustainable infrastructure designed to support economic growth and social development across the continent.

Delivering the keynote address, Dr. Mohammed Kyari Dikwa, President and Founder of Al-Ansar Foundation, emphasised the importance of dependable electricity in transforming Nigeria’s education sector. He noted that reliable energy infrastructure is vital for improving teaching, learning and institutional productivity.

During the technical sessions, TranESS C&I presented commercial and industrial energy storage solutions tailored to the needs of schools and higher institutions. Participants received guidance on the long-term cost benefits of moving away from diesel-powered electricity generation to cleaner energy alternatives, alongside implementation strategies and opportunities for direct technical consultations with company specialists.

The summit also featured ecosystem partners, including itel Appliances, Apparelcare, Cawin Mobility and representatives of the Private Secondary School Association Abuja, underscoring the role of cross-sector collaboration in advancing sustainable development.

A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of the Youth Talent in Energy Storage Programme by Farrah Huang, Global Marketing Director, TranESS itel Energy. The initiative is expected to train more than 3,000 Nigerian energy storage technicians over the next three years through five regional training centres across the country.

In addition, TranESS announced plans to introduce specialised energy storage management courses through Transsion University. Outstanding Nigerian students will be selected annually for advanced training opportunities in China as part of efforts to build local technical expertise and strengthen Africa’s expanding clean energy ecosystem.

To further support human capital development, TranESS C&I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Al-Ansar Foundation to establish structured pathways for internships, employment opportunities in China and educational exchange programmes for qualified Nigerian candidates.

Under the agreement, the Al-Ansar Foundation will oversee the identification and preparation of eligible participants, creating a structured pipeline between Nigerian educational institutions and TranESS’ global operations.

Company representatives said the partnership reflects the importance of developing local talent to accelerate Nigeria’s transition to cleaner and more reliable energy while creating sustainable career opportunities for young people.

Bringing the summit to a close, Anisa, Business Development Manager at TranESS C&I, encouraged participating institutions to convert discussions into practical action by adopting sustainable energy solutions capable of improving educational outcomes and institutional resilience.

The Abuja summit represents a significant milestone in TranESS C&I’s engagement with Nigeria’s education sector and aligns with the company’s broader strategy of advancing sustainable development through innovation, strategic partnerships and investment in people.
