Philip Costa, an environmental advocate and founder of the Incorporated Trustees of Advocates of Solar Panels Association (ITASPA), is making significant strides in bringing renewable energy to Nigeria and, eventually, the broader African continent.
With ITASPA, which he founded, Costa has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the lives of countless individuals in Nigeria through solar energy.
In recent years, ITASPA has engaged in grassroots efforts, seeking donations and partnerships to fund solar projects aimed at providing sustainable energy solutions to underserved communities.
With a focus on improving access to electricity, Costa and his team at ITASPA are seeking to implement various programmes that supply solar panels to locals, helping them to alleviate energy poverty and promote cleaner living.
“Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their economic background, has access to reliable and sustainable energy,” Costa stated. “We believe that solar energy can transform lives and communities across Africa.”
ITASPA’s consistent dedication to its mission has garnered attention and support from local and international donors, allowing the organization to expand its reach.
The impact is already evident in several Nigerian communities, where solar installations have led to enhanced education opportunities, improved healthcare access, and greater economic productivity.
As Costa and ITASPA continue their mission in Nigeria, they aim to replicate their model throughout Africa, advocating for policy changes and increased investment in renewable energy.
With a vision of a brighter, more sustainable future, Costa is determined to light up the continent—one solar panel at a time.
