Nigeria can build solar power plants, but funding remains elusive 

Nigeria can build solar power plants, but funding remains elusive 

Nigeria has demonstrated that distributed renewable energy can successfully expand electricity access beyond the national grid. Through the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP), private developers built 180 solar hybrid mini-grids across 23 states, connecting over 146,000 households and deploying 19.2MW of renewable capacity. However, the fundamental challenge is no longer technical viability—it is securing sustainable, scalable

Africa: Africa’s Mineral Strength Is Wasted If Countries Don’t Work Together

Africa: Africa’s Mineral Strength Is Wasted If Countries Don’t Work Together

Green technologies are mineral-intensive: electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels, wind turbines and grids need cobalt, lithium, copper, manganese, graphite and rare earths. The International Energy Agency estimates that electric cars require six times more minerals than a petrol or diesel car. A wind power plant requires about nine times more minerals than a gas-fired plant.
