  • Solar Is One Bank’s Answer to Nigerian Electricity Blackouts

    (Bloomberg) -- The manager of Nigeria’s biggest pension fund is teeing up millions in financing for the renewables sector but it’s also embracing solar energy for the good of its own business.Standard Bank Group Ltd.’s Nigerian unit is aiming to run nearly half its offices on solar by 2022 to cut down on energy costs and dependence on diesel-powered generators in the West African nation, which suffers from acute power shortages and frequent blackouts.Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc’s shift to solar-powered systems will enable it to cut diesel costs for generators by about 20%, Omolola Fashesin, its head of sustainability, said in an emailed response to questions. The fuel makes up a significant portion of spending on its banking premises that accounted for about 6.3% of its operating expenses -- excluding staff costs -- in 2020.The bank has 175 business offices in Africa’s largest economy, all of which have to be supported by diesel-powered generators.Stanbic IBTC also plans to set aside $100 million for lending to local companies in the renewables sector over the next three years to help boost adoption of cleaner forms of energy, according to Fashesin.“The prospects for solar companies in Nigeria are good but it does require a significant amount of capital,” she said. “There are opportunities for banks to partner with these companies to provide lending.”Energy GoalsStanbic IBTC’s parent, Africa’s largest bank by assets, agreed this month to set targets for reducing its exposure to fossil fuels after initially rejecting a demand from a group of fund managers to include a resolution on climate-change goals at its May 27 annual general meeting.The greenhouse gas emissions associated with financial institutions’ investing, lending and underwriting activities are more than 700 times higher, on average, than their direct emissions, according to a report published in April by climate nonprofit CDP.Lenders and businesses in Africa’s largest economy routinely run generators for their offices because of the unreliability of power supply from the national grid, which provides only about 4,500 megawatts of electricity for more than 200 million people.Stanbic IBTC is in talks with development financial institutions including the International Finance Corp. and the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. for on-lending facilities to Nigerian firms investing in renewables, Fashesin said. It plans to finalize credit for two renewable transactions totaling $40 million, this year, she said. Nigeria has pledged to cut carbon emissions 20% by 2030 under the Paris Climate Agreement as part of an effort to overcome its energy challenges.While the government is encouraging private sector investments in renewables, it’s also injecting 10% of the 2.3 trillion naira ($5.6 billion) intended to spur a recovery from the coronavirus pandemic toward providing solar power for households.(Updates with renewables deals in 10th paragraph)More stories like this are available on bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • Police investigate if anti-psychotic drug caused lecturer's death

    Police are conducting an investigation into the death of a woman who was allegedly given higher than recommended doses of a powerful anti-psychotic drug at a mental health unit. Margaret Molyneux, 69, a former lecturer, was undergoing treatment for bipolar disorder when she suffered a series of complications and died in hospital three days after choking in July 2017. A coroner ruled that she had died of natural causes, but Hertfordshire Police launched an investigation into allegations of gross negligence manslaughter, after a review found that Ms Molyneux had been prescribed higher than recommended doses of the drug Olanzapine. Her daughter, Petria Foley (pictured below), believes the anti-psychotic medication caused dangerous side effects - including choking - which were not picked up by the psychiatrists treating her and eventually led to her death. The Telegraph can reveal that detectives have now appointed a forensic toxicologist to look into the case before deciding whether to bring any charges. Ms Molyneux, a mother of two, was admitted to the Kingfisher Court mental health unit in Radeltt, Hertfordshire in March 2017, after being sectioned following a relapse of the bipolar condition she suffered from. She was prescribed Olanzapine, a powerful anti-psychotic drug that is used to treat a range of mental health conditions including schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder. But it has also been linked to a variety of side effects and in 2018 Avon and Somerset Police launched an investigation into the death of teenager Oliver McGowan, who died after being prescribed the drug. In the weeks leading up to her death, Ms Molyneaux, had a series of falls and also suffered from sepsis, pneumonia. She also developed dysphagia - a condition where swallowing becomes difficult - and Ms Foley is convinced it was the medication that was causing the physical problems. She said despite her mother’s deteriorating condition, the drugs continued to be prescribed and medics also stopped her mother from smoking which meant the medication had an even more powerful effect.
