Nigeria’s Energy Access Challenge — By the Numbers
Today about 95 million Nigerians — 55% of the population — do not have access to electricity, representing the largest human assemblage globally without electricity.
80% of Nigeria's operational energy capacity comes from polluting petrol and diesel generators as the main backup source during power outages.
Nigerians spend over USD 14 billion annually fueling petrol and diesel generators — a major drain on households and businesses.
Unreliable electricity costs Nigeria ₦7–10 trillion (~€24 billion) annually — about 5–7% of GDP — hitting SMEs and MSMEs the hardest, which are the largest sources of employment in the country. To cope, households and businesses rely on petrol/diesel generators that cost about 4× the average grid tariff (~€0.12/kWh).
Reliance on generators emits roughly 29 million tons COâ‚‚e annually, driving buildings' operational emissions in Nigeria.
Out of Nigeria's current 12.5 GW installed capacity, only about 5 GW is available — leaving grid supply inadequate for a rapidly growing population of over 200 million people and a fast-growing economy.
To replace petrol and diesel generators at scale, Nigeria must deploy 6.3 GW of Decentralised Renewable Energy (DRE) by 2030, electrifying approximately 1.5 million households annually in line with the country’s Energy Transition Plan (ETP).

DRE for Generator Replacement (2030)
We're revolutionising the way we generate, use and share energy in the renewable era by championing the energy prosumer economy.
We're on a mission to dismantle the high cost barrier limiting the adoption of decentralised clean energy to power businesses and households for a sustainable future.
Our journey began with a shared experience of growing up in Nigeria, where constant power outages stifled the growth of businesses, limited people’s potential and affected every aspect of society. For many, the immediate alternative has always been reliance on petrol and diesel generators—an unsustainable practice that not only pollutes the environment and poses a risk to health but also burdens the end-users with high operational costs. This first-hand understanding of the energy challenges inspired Damilola Adeyanju and Mustapha Manga to co-found Eablenex.
While clean energy solutions like low-capacity solar home systems (SHS) have gained traction, deploying high-capacity decentralised renewable systems for urban demand needs often means significantly higher costs, creating a financial barrier for many due to the steep upfront expenses of ownership – considering the low minimum wage in Nigeria, which currently averages $43 per month.
To dismantle this barrier, Eablenex battery technology was designed to provide affordable and accessible clean energy through a shared-use model, offering businesses and communities a more sustainable alternative to polluting petrol and diesel generators.
At Eablenex, we believe that everyone has a right to reliable and affordable clean energy when they need it.
We are dedicated to achieving 50% female representation within our facilitator network, empowering women with enhanced income opportunities.
We are committed to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and accelerating the transition to clean energy that works for people and the planet.
We are convinced that energy access is at the core of inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
Eablenex is committed to deploying more than 630 MW of decentralised renewable energy capacity, contributing 10% of Nigeria’s 6.3 GW target outlined in its Energy Transition Plan (ETP). To achieve this, we aim to deploy more than 160,000 eablenex smart battery units, providing reliable power to homes and businesses across the country.
Eablenex is committed to creating 10,000 jobs through our facilitator network to drive participation in the energy prosumer economy and enhance economic growth.
Eablenex is committed to helping avoid up to 10% in annual COâ‚‚ emissions from petrol and diesel generators in Nigeria to contribute towards a greener future.
