Afrinet Power

We provide solar power solutions to enhance energy access in rural communities and underserved areas. About 50% of Nigeria's population lack regular access to reliable electricity, nearly 90 million people live off the grid. Grid extension projects are nowhere near keeping up with population growth and increasing demand for power. This is worsened by their vulnerability to acts of terrorism and vandalization. Transforming the current energy outlook requires a shift in the way we think about energy and electricity delivery. According to Power for All, Any practical solution to deliver energy access to lower-density, rural populations cost-effectively must include smaller-scale generation and limited—if any—transmission. Decentralized solar home systems and mini-grids can provide the needed energy to power rural communities and drive growth. Afrinet Power runs on this model and is working to end #EnergyPoverty by enhancing access to affordable, reliable electricity that will help create more opportunities.
