Can solar power solve Nigeria's energy crisis? Fuel generators have powered Nigeria for decades. They're noisy, dirty, and bad for the environment. But they also provide power to millions of people in a country with an unreliable grid. The removal of Nigeria's long-standing fuel subsidy in 2023 caused the price of fuel to quadruple, leaving Nigerian consumers searching for options. And many are going solar. So while economic considerations have largely driven Nigeria's transition to solar power, it has positive climate implications too. But why is the grid so broken in the first place? How can it be fixed? And is decentralized solar energy an adequate solution to solve Nigeria's energy crisis? In today’s episode of The Flip, we’re exploring Nigeria's newfound energy transition. Featuring: Bimbola Adisa - Founder & CEO, @BPSAfrica @thomas_rotimi - Co-founder & CEO, @sunfi_hq @ChidAndie - Founder & CEO, @earthbondco This episode was produced as part of our series on climate action in Africa, The Greenprint, in partnership with @TheCatalystFund, @Delta40_Studio & Africa Climate Ventures.
