The United Nations commended Nigeria for expanding reliable energy access at a lower cost through innovative subsidy frameworks and off-grid interventions, which connected over 5 million people and created more than 5,000 green jobs. The report also commended Nigeria and Ghana for leading agrivoltaics projects that integrate solar installations into working farmlands, optimizing both agricultural yields and clean power generation.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The initiative, which supported 125 mini-grids and the distribution of over one million Solar Home Systems, demonstrated how strategic subsidization of rural mini-grids can lower retail tariffs for vulnerable populations while unlocking private capital. The agrivoltaics model allows communities to transform their food and energy systems simultaneously.
