5 FAQs about [Microgrids in the Niger]

Is Niger ready for a mini-grid?

In January 2019, with support from USAID and Power Africa, ANPER launched a nationwide feasibility study on mini-grid development, bringing Niger one step closer to its universal energy access goal.

What is a mini-grid in Nigeria?

In Nigeria, a mini-grid is a viable and cost effective solution for electrifying communities where population density is too low to economically justify connecting to the national grid. It provides constant and affordable electricity through a decentralized energy system.

What is the Niger mini-grid feasibility study?

“The Niger Mini-Grid Feasibility Study is an innovative approach to project development that gives a unique opportunity to foster strong ties between American mini-grid developers and the Government of Niger, through ANPER.” said ANPER’s Director General, Salouhou Hamidine.

How were mini-grid sites selected?

Mini-grid sites were selected based on private sector interest by American Towers (formerly Eaton Towers), a telecommunications firm and “anchor customer” interested in reducing reliance on diesel generators and contributing to community energy access.

Why did anper develop a solar mini-grid?

ANPER realized that solar mini-grids offer a cost-effective, fast pathway to delivering first-time energy access to 1,000 rural villages. ANPER also knew that the country needed a robust feasibility study to attract international mini-grid developers and private sector investment.
