Problem: Nigeria’s energy generation, electrical infrastructure, and renewable provision have fallen short of expectations with respect to her population of over 200 million people. Currently, Nigeria generates 5,700MW of electricity with an access rate of only 60% providing energy access to both urban and rural electrification at a ratio of 86% and 34% respectively. With its current capacity fractionally lower than what it should be generating it has also seen 12 intermittent grid failures in the last 14 months. As a result of this problem, coupled with inflation, electricity generation for both rural and urban households has seen an increase in the cost of living and doing business in Nigeria. It has also caused: - Increase in the cost of internet access - Increase in petty theft and larceny - Extreme health risks from the proliferation of generators causing both noise and air pollution. - Economic downturn. Constant migration of people to urban areas which causes congestion and other health-related risks Addressing energy, and internet poverty in Nigeria and the rest of the continent is a critical imperative with lasting social and economic benefits.
