Why This Program Exists

Electricity costs continue to rise, making reliable power difficult for many homes and businesses across Nigeria.

The 2026 Energy Access Program was created to help eligible Nigerians access quality solar energy systems through support provided by program partners. Instead of paying the full cost upfront, approved applicants contribute only the remaining balance after any support is applied.

Customer Reviews

Feedback from applicants who completed installation under earlier program windows.

We used to spend most of our week buying fuel for the generator. Since the installation, the lights, fridge and freezer stay on all night and the house is finally quiet.

Adaeze O.
Ikeja, Lagos · Family Home Package

My shop no longer closes when there is no light. The POS, CCTV and lights run through the day and my monthly fuel spend has almost disappeared.

Musa I.
Kaduna North, Kaduna · Small Business Package

The application took a few minutes and the consultant explained everything before I paid my contribution. My fan, laptop and lights now run all night.

Chinedu A.
Nsukka, Enugu · Student Essentials

Installation was neat and finished in one day. The team came back to check the system a week later, which I really appreciated.

Blessing E.
Port Harcourt, Rivers · Apartment Package

Two fridges, the office equipment and one inverter AC all run comfortably. The confirmation clearly showed the support applied and exactly what I had to pay.

Yusuf B.
Kano Municipal, Kano · Premium Home Package

I move it between my shop and the house. It charges in the day and powers my lights, phones and laptop at night with no installation at all.

Grace T.
Ibadan, Oyo · Portable Solar Package
