Description: 75 mini-grids are currently in operation in Nigeria, showing a total capacity of approximately 7 MW and serving about 160,000 people. The latest GET.transform case study illustrates the country’s successful approach to establishing large-scale mini-grid programmes.
One of the success factors in Nigeria is the development of strong financing instruments, on top of a series of power sector reforms and regulations in place for the development of mini-grids. The clear instruments boost private sector confidence, and has allowed Nigeria to attract significant funding from donors like the World Bank and African Development Bank to support its electrification endeavours.
