As the first half of the year 2022 moves closer to an end, the national grid again collapses, making it five times in the first half of 2022 alone. The instability of the national grid in the past years remains a major nightmare for Nigerians as they continue to strive for a definitive end to the recurring grid collapse.Â
Data reports from the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that about half (48.6%) of the electricity consumed in the country is through self-generation.
Of this number, 22.6% are supplied through petrol-powered generators, 16.6% via diesel generators, and the remaining 9.4% are through gas-powered generators. As a result, Nigerians spend about $14 billion annually on generators alone. This figure is bound to increase significantly due to the current global energy crisis and its resultant effect on gas and diesel prices.Â
A viable solution to the energy crisis being faced in the country is renewable energy from the sun. Electricity generation from solar energy offers Nigerians the opportunity and freedom to generate and consume electricity without relying on the failing national grid while also being insulated from the energy markets’ price volatility and scarcity.Â
