About Us
The Nigeria Electrification Programme (NEP) is a Federal Government (FG) initiative that is private sector driven and seeks to bridge the energy access deficit by providing electricity to households, MSMEs, educational and healthcare facilities in unserved and underserved rural communities through the deployment of mini grids, Standalone Solar Home Systems (SHS), rooftop solar, captive power plants and productive use appliances to ensure sustainability of these off-grid solutions.
The Project Development Objective is to increase access to electricity services for households and MSMEs with private sector-led distributed renewable energy generation.
The proposed project is a part of the World Bank’s comprehensive, programmatic engagement in Nigeria’s power sector to help the FGN realize its ambitious Energy Transition Plan (ETP) vision
