The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) aims to make reliable electricity available to 75 percent of the population by 2020, and 90 percent by 2030, with at least a 10 percent share of renewable energy by 2025. The FGN intends to take a comprehensive approach to extending access through grid extension and off‐grid expansion. Mini grids are expected to play a critical role in meeting the United Nation’s Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) goal of universal energy access by 2030. As a result, mini grids are one of the main High Impact Opportunities within the SEforALL initiative. They are also a priority in most of the SEforALL Action Agendas under development in Africa. ESMAP at the World Bank leveraging the core funding from DFID has initiated a Global Facility for Mini Grids to accelerate the pace of electrification to large groups of people. The facility will mainstream least cost mini grids into World Bank Group operations as well as develop the policy and business‐relevant knowledge and data needed to accelerate mini grid deployment.
