Electricity is one of the major necessities in Nigeria and the world. This makes it a sector of much scrutiny. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 seeks to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy.
In Nigeria, the supply of electricity is irregular and lower than the demand. There are cases of blackouts, and power grid collapse; throwing the nation into an urgency to review its electricity policies.
The lack of power supply poses a risk to businesses and the nation as it discourages investors and causes hardship for the residents.
As a result, solar power is becoming increasingly important in Nigeria, as the energy consumption is getting higher due to the population growth, urbanisation and today’s energy-dependent society and industry. A much more preferable option than generators or kerosene!
