ENGIE boosts Nigeria’s energy statistics with solar systems, mini grid solutions

Determined to help in bridging the energy gap in the country, which is in tune of over 100,000 megawatt, ENGIE Energy Access Nigeria is offering solar home systems and mini-grid solutions to Nigerians.

According to the Managing Director of the company, Mr Bankole Cardoso, apart from helping to light up homes with power solar systems and accessories, the firm is also prepared to assist customers with a flexible payment plan to facilitate access.

Besides, he disclosed that plans are on top gear to develop a mini-grid to a community in Niger state next month, describing the mini grid as “ a very strategic segment of our business.”

Disclosing   this while fielding questions from journalists during a forum to announce the change of name to ENGIE Energy Access Nigeria from Fenix International, in Lagos, Cardoso and the firm’s Head of Products, Akonte Taylor-Harry, told the audience that the company is poised, not only to bridge the gap in access to electricity in Nigeria, but also actively contribute to the improvement of the country’s relatively poor energy statistics.

Cardoso said “We only offered solar home systems, and with ENGIE Energy Access we are now able to offer both solar home systems and mini-grid solutions to our customers.

“Our decentralised solutions cover the full spectrum of energy needs from basic lighting and phone charging (with our basic kit selling for N44,500 and can be paid off in 20 months) to more advances systems for households all the way to powering productive use equipment to promote entrepreneurship and boost economic activity in rural communities across Nigeria.”

So far, he said the company has recorded great success by impacting the lives of over 200,000 Nigerians, adding that it has ambitious growth plans to scale even faster and wider across Nigeria, allowing the company to bring clean, reliable, and affordable energy to millions of Nigerians over the next five years.

“With operations in 11 states across Nigeria (Lagos, Kwara, Oyo, Kogi, Enugu, Ebonyi, Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Ondo and Niger), Bankole highlighted the important role partnerships with organisations like Paga, MTN, Enugu State Government, DSTv, Nigeria Rural Electrification Agency, and many more have played in the company’s success to date.”
