The project is a maiden initiative of Nigeria Sustainable Energy for All. The project seeks to promote the visibility of existing off-grid networks while mapping out settlement clusters for the future development of grid connectivity in the country.
The Minister of Power, Engr. Sale Mamman welcomed the initiative which he said is aimed at the digitalisation of Nigeria’s electricity sector. The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Power Mr. Chinyeaka Ohaa also noted that the platform will promote the adherence to transparency and accountability in the electricity sector.
