for MSME’s in economic clusters
The Energizing Economies Initiative (EEI) is a Federal Government of Nigeria initiative implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) that aims to support the rapid deployment of off-grid electricity solutions to MSMEs in economic clusters (such as markets, shopping complexes and agricultural/industrial clusters), through private sector developers.
The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) launched the initiative in September 2017 as part of its wider Micro, Small, Medium Enterprise (MSMEs) programme.
The EEI seeks to increase energy access and economic growth by providing clean, reliable and affordable power to economic clusters across Nigeria; such as markets, shopping complexes and agricultural/industrial clusters.
Promote efficient, clean, safe, cheaper and sustainable power to catchment areas that have high growth impact on the economy.
