THE OPPORTUNITY
Nigeria is the biggest and most attractive off-grid opportunity in Africa, and one
of the best locations in the world for minigrids and solar home systems
Nigeria has the largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa (GDP of $405 billion), has 180 million
people, and a flourishing economy (CAGR of 15% since 2000).
A significant amount of the economy is powered largely by small-scale generators (10–15 GW)
and almost 50% of the population have limited or no access to the grid.
As a result Nigerians and their businesses spend almost $14 billion (# 5 trillion) annually on
inefficient generation that is expensive ($0.40/kWh or #140/kWh or more), of poor quality,
noisy, and polluting.
Developing off-grid alternatives to complement the grid creates a $9.2B/year (N3.2T/year)
market opportunity for minigrids and solar home systems that will save $4.4B/year (#1.5T/year)
for Nigerian homes and businesses.
There is a large potential for scaling-installing 10,000 minigrids of 100 kW each can occur by
2023 and only meet 30% of anticipated demand.
Getting off-grid solutions to scale and commercial viability in Nigeria will unlock an enormous
market opportunity in Sub-Saharan Africa across 350 million people in countries with smaller
demand and/or less-robust economies.
The Rural Electrification Agency (REA), tasked with developing the Nigerian off-grid power
market, has created the Off-Grid Electrification Strategy which is part of the Power Sector
Recovery Programme (PSRP).
