Several years after the privatization of Nigeria’s power sector, the gap between the country’s energy needs and what is being generated is daunting. Nigeria currently generates about 12,000 megawatts but only 5,000 megawatts is available for the country’s teeming population. This means that about 60 per cent of Nigerians lack access to the grid.

In 2013, USADF launched the Off-Grid Energy Challenge to bring affordable and renewable energy to rural communities across Africa. Since then, over $7 million has been invested in 75 energy entrepreneurs in 9 countries to provide off-grid energy solutions to rural communities. DDI as the implementing partner of USADF, helps entrepreneurs to harness this opportunity in Nigeria. We have worked closely with local energy entrepreneurs to deploy off-grid energy solutions across the country by the provision of technical supports, Monitoring and Evaluations, Remediation supports and access to Follow-on financing. Such off-grid energy projects include; Solar Rural Electrification, Solar Power Cold storage solutions for fish and vegetable farming, Solar Power drying solutions for agricultural produce, SolarKiosks, Solar Milling solution, Biogas Rural Electrification, Biomass rural electrification, Solar Home Solutions, Solar Stand-Alone solution, and Solar Power borehole. We also provide assistance to agricultural cooperatives/businesses by providing solutions integrating renewable energy in sustainable agriculture and food security.
