Solar power in Nigeria has become more affordable than electricity from the national grid, with costs dropping to N85-N140 per kilowatt-hour compared to grid prices of N220-N270. This shift is driven by rising operational costs for gas-fired plants and the establishment of new solar mini-grids, which promise predictable pricing and significant long-term savings. As Nigeria's energy landscape transforms, solar installations are increasingly seen as a viable solution for energy independence amidst economic challenges.
