The federal government through the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) with technical support from the German government and the European Union (EU) has launched national guidelines for interconnecting solar mini-grids to distribution networks.
Coming under the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), the development which also witnessed the handover of procured solar testing equipment to NEMSA, is a major step towards strengthening Nigeria’s evolving mini-grid market and improving electricity access.
Speaking during the event in Abuja, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NEMSA, Olusegun Adesayo, described solar mini-grids as a critical solution for electrifying underserved and unserved communities across Nigeria.
