Why GEAPP?
Nigeria’s Distributed Renewable Energy ecosystem needs these multi-faceted and simultaneous solutions so the whole value chain starts to connect, progress, scale and sustain with energy developer businesses becoming viable and self-sufficient, and offtake growing on the demand side as access to electricity drives growth.
In Nigeria, where MSMEs are the biggest source of both formal and informal jobs and therefore the engine of growth, that’s the breakthrough unlock that GEAPP brings.
Standalone solar allows businesses to operate independently and efficiently, allowing more flow of customers and income.

Establishing clean, sustainable, and reliable energy access is intertwined with so many of Nigeria’s development goals. We have proven that transforming our energy system is a national priority through our Economic Sustainability Plan, and most recently, with our announcement at COP26 in Glasgow to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. The Nigeria Integrated Energy Planning Tool offers critical data and analysis that will assist us in achieving our universal access targets for both electrification and clean cooking.
