The new ‘Sunshot’ initiative plans to build upwards of 500 solar-led microgrids by 2026 to create 400,000 new grid connections. “With more than 90 million Nigerians still living without access to energy, the Nigeria Sunshot is a real-world demonstration that the microgrid industry is ready to scale and drive rural economic growth with a net-zero, resilient solution,” said Olu Aruike, country manager of Husk Nigeria, at the initiative’s launch.
