What the paper says

Nigeria has one of the greatest energy access challenges in the world, with an un-electrified population of 75 million people. Likewise, the cost of the energy access deficit is huge, and is borne by households, businesses and the government. This article emphasizes the need for cheaper, modern sources of energy to improve energy access, boost the economy and reduce government subsidy bills. With the electricity grid unlikely to reach the entire population anytime soon, decentralized renewable energy (DRE) stands out as the best solution in bridging the gap, and ensuring that the entire population gains access to energy as quickly and efficiently as possible.
