        Nigeria off-grid access for schools

        …funding support from the EU and UK government, the programme has supported the development of solar installations across Nigeria, including bringing over 5 MW of installed solar power capacity to 175 schools and 11 primary hospitals in the State of Lagos. The successful deployment of reliable energy access in these public health and education facilities demonstrated the social development benefits that off-grid solar solutions can play to provide energy access to children to support local education. The expansion of solar has since become a key component of the Nigerian government’s policy to increase energy access across the country.
