1.    Market Overview

Severe Power Shortages: Nigeria’s electricity grid is highly unstable, with an average of 140 power outages per year. In some areas, daily grid supply is limited to just 5-6 hours, driving strong demand for home and business energy storage solutions.

Growing Population and Demand: With a rapidly expanding population of over 220 million, the increasing number of households presents a massive potential market for solar energy storage.

High Operational Costs for Businesses: Many enterprises rely on expensive fuel generators, significantly increasing their operating costs. This has accelerated the shift towards solar-plus-storage solutions as a more cost-effective and sustainable alternative.

2.    Government Support

Clean Energy Development Goals: Nigeria aims to add 30GW of new power capacity by 2030, with 30% sourced from renewable energy, highlighting the critical role of solar storage.

Incentives and Policies: The government provides feed-in tariff subsidies, power purchase agreements (PPAs) to attract foreign investment, and tax reductions on solar equipment imports. Additionally, international institutions such as the World Bank have funded multiple solar-related projects.

Green Energy Tax Benefits: Companies utilizing renewable energy technologies can receive tax reductions, encouraging wider adoption of solar storage solutions while alleviating pressure on the national grid.
