Nigeria’s utility solar market is nascent but growing at a CAGR of around 16% driven by electrification efforts and urgent need for reliable power in rural areas. Key drivers include falling solar costs and donor-funded infrastructure programs. Restraints include weak grid infrastructure, regulatory ambiguity, and financing limitations. Opportunities exist in off-grid and mini-grid solar solutions as well as large-scale solar parks. Trends highlight increasing private sector and international development agency participation. As Nigeria’s government prioritizes renewable energy, utility solar could play a critical role in improving energy access and economic development.
