Nigeria is preparing to connect over 4,200 megawatts-peak (MWp) of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy to its national electricity grid by 2030, with plans to use battery energy storage systems (BESS) to stabilise the increasingly fragile network..

Nigeria’s energy transition in 2025 is no longer being defined by incremental megawatts added to the national grid. Instead, it is being driven by a quieter but more consequential shift: the rise of decentralised, storage-backed power systems engineered for reliability, autonomy and economic. .
Interconnected solar minigrids are powering homes and businesses with reliable, affordable, clean energy in Africa’s largest country. Alheji Gembo runs a small shop with cold drinks out of his home in Zawaciki, a housing settlement in Northern Nigeria. In the past, the unreliable power from the. .
Now, panel by panel, battery by battery, solar power is being used to power businesses and lives in the West African nation, offering a much-needed electricity source. It’s September 2025, and the all-too familiar news, that the national power grid has collapsed yet again, spreads across Nigeria..
Solar energy in Nigeria is stepping in where the grid falls short. Mini grids, rooftop PV and batteries are cutting diesel costs while providing an economic engine. Investing in solar energy will help the country reach its decarbonisation goals and increase electrification rates. Solar energy in. .
Nigeria is preparing to connect over 4,200 megawatts-peak (MWp) of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy to its national electricity grid by 2030, with plans to use battery energy storage systems (BESS) to stabilise the increasingly fragile network. This was revealed at the inaugural workshop for the. .
But a game-changing new law—the Electricity Act 2023 —has opened a revolutionary possibility: connecting your solar panels to the national grid and potentially getting paid for the extra energy you produce. This process, known as establishing a grid-tie system, turns you from just a consumer into a.
