In a strategic effort to deepen electricity access and promote clean energy adoption, the Enugu State Government, in collaboration with the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), GIZ Nigeria, and ECOWAS, has issued a call for proposals from qualified solar mini-grid developers.
The initiative titled Renewable Energy Project Development for State Electricity Market (REDSEM) aims to deploy mini-grid solutions across unserved and underserved communities in Enugu State. The goal is to connect a minimum of 1,500 new customers per project, with system capacities ranging from 0.2MW to 0.6MW.
Selected developers will receive substantial financial assistance, with up to 70–80% of capital expenditure (CAPEX) covered through in-kind grant support. Interested developers are required to identify suitable project locations using the Nigerian SE4ALL geospatial database.
Eligibility Requirements Include:
- Valid incorporation in Nigeria with up-to-date compliance certifications (CAC, Tax Clearance, PENCOM, NSITF, and ITF)
- Demonstrated track record in mini-grid development
- Technical and financial capacity to execute the proposed projects
Proposal Submission Details:
