Description: Nigeria’s population is estimated at 201 million,3 of which 77 million are unelectrified. Those connected do not necessarily fare better, as 80 per cent supplement unreliable electricity with a host of alternatives, largely diesel or petrol generators. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that in the next 10 years (until 2030), the national grid will not reach national coverage and hence a large part of the Nigerian population will still depend on off-grid solutions for electrification.
