Nigeria’s solar boom bypasses national grid as utility-scale investment stalls – Report
Nigeria has emerged as sub-Saharan Africa’s fastest-growing market for small-scale solar systems, but weak investment in utility-scale renewable energy projects is preventing the country from translating the boom into large-scale improvements in electricity supply.
The report, titled “Sub-Saharan Africa Renewable Energy Market Outlook”, projects that Nigeria will dominate the region’s small-scale solar additions through 2035, while South Africa will remain the continent’s leader in utility-scale renewable energy deployment.
For Nigeria, BloombergNEF concludes that the country’s clean energy transition is well underway—but unless policymakers create a transparent pipeline for utility-scale renewable projects, the solar boom may continue to bypass the national grid, limiting its impact on overall electricity supply.
