Solar mini grids are playing a key role in expanding electricity access in off-grid and underserved communities in Nigeria, especially where grid infrastructure is lacking or damaged. This sector has grown significantly due to government initiatives and support from international partners like the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), co-funded by the European Union (EU) and German Government, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The recently enacted Electricity Act 2023 decentralises electricity regulation, empowering states in Nigeria to regulate electricity within their borders.
