National workshop on the business model for the electrification of public institutions (education and health) in Nigeria

20 February 2025 in ABUJA

More than thirty participants from the Federal Ministries of Energy, Health, Education, Budget and agencies specialising in the energy sector in Nigeria met in Abuja on Thursday, 20 February 2025, at the initiative of ECOWAS, as part of the implementation of the Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP).

The aim of this important meeting is to present to the various stakeholders the results of the feasibility studies into the electrification of 15 health centres and clinics in the states of FCT, Nasarawa and Niger using solar photovoltaic technology. ROGEAP took the opportunity to present its business models for the sustainable financing of installations, as well as its implementation strategy.

ROGEAP is jointly funded by the World Bank, the Clean Technology Fund and the Netherlands Government’s development cooperation programme, through the Directorate-General for International Cooperation.

It should be noted that, on 26 September 2024, an awareness-raising forum was organised to mobilise all stakeholders in the electrification of public institutions, particularly schools and healthcare facilities in Nigeria.
