Conclusion of the PeopleSuN project: 4 years of innovation for off-grid electrification in Nigeria
After four successful years, the PeopleSuN project has come to an end - a milestone in the development of solutions for off-grid electrification in Nigeria. Together, the project team developed a number of valuable products and outcomes that will make a sustainable contribution to Nigeria's energy supply.
Project highlights include:
Project highlights include:
- Quantitative and qualitative data sets for informed planning decisions and further research
- An open planning tool specifically adapted to the Nigerian context to support optimal off-grid electrification through Solar Home Systems (SHS) and Solar Mini-Grids
- An open finance and assessment tool to facilitate financial planning for off-grid electrification projects in Nigeria
- The Nigeria Off-Grid Solar Hub as a central platform for information and networking on off-grid electrification in Nigeria
The final project document, the Practitioner's Guide, summarises the results and findings of the project. This guide was published at the beginning of December 2024 and offers detailed insights and practical recommendations. It is available here.
