DISPLACING PETROL & DIESEL GENERATORS WITH SOLAR IN NIGERIA

The Universal Energy Facility (UEF), managed by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), launched the 'Stand-Alone Solar for Productive Use' (SSPU) programme in Nigeria in 2022. This results-based financing (RBF) initiative provides grants to renewable energy companies to deploy solar and storage solutions for businesses and households, aiming to displace polluting generators. An initial USD 10 million in funding was allocated to ten companies to provide over 3,500 electricity connections. The programme seeks to improve energy access, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and foster economic productivity by lowering the up-front costs of solar installation.

• In February 2023, grant agreements totaling USD 10 million were signed with ten renewable energy companies to deploy more than 3,500 electricity connections in Nigeria.
• There is significant remaining demand for the programme, with 20 additional qualified companies on a wait-list capable of delivering 22,000 more connections over the next two years.
