Description: Industrialization is gaining pace in many sub-Saharan African countries. However, large commercial and industrial (C&I) customers in Nigeria continue to be hampered by unreliable electricity supply from the national grid. Consequently, most large C&I customers have resorted to fossil fuel-powered self-generation which increases costs and reduces profitability. To reduce fossil fuel self-generation costs, large C&I customers are beginning to take advantage of declining renewable energy prices to install their own captive distributed energy resource (DER) systems.
