A Catalogue of Off-Grid Energy Projects
Diamond Development Initiatives (DDI), the Local Implementing Partner of the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) in Nigeria, has catalyzed the growth of sustainable energy access through its support of over 60 innovative off-grid energy projects. With funding from USADF and All On (an impact investor seeded by Shell) DDI has since 2014, deployed its expertise to empower local energy entrepreneurs, facilitating the expansion of their services to create more than 10,000 energy connections across 22 Nigerian states, dramatically impacting both households and businesses. Beyond project execution, DDI’s contributions encompass technical assistance, business advisory, and capacity-building services, as well as access to follow-on financing, to enhance the development of the off-grid energy sector in Nigeria. The following list highlights the diverse and transformative off-grid energy projects that have flourished under DDI’s guidance.
