In 2026, Nigeria's solar energy market ushered in a dual boom period driven by policies and demand. As the most populous country in West Africa (with a population exceeding 230 million), Nigeria faces a power gap of up to 25GW, with only 4000MW of actual available power, accounting for less than 30% of the installed capacity. The electrification rate in rural areas is as low as 43%, with more than 640 power outages annually, and residents are in a power-free state for nearly 40% of the time. Against this backdrop, the "Nigeria Tax Act" that took effect on January 1, 2026, and the distributed energy projects led by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) have injected strong impetus into the popularization of solar energy.
