Do you believe private investments in mini-grid energy projects are the right way to expand electricity access?
Investment firm All On has partnered with PowerGen Renewable Energy Nigeria Limited to expand mini-grid energy infrastructure. This capital infusion follows the successful closing of a Series C funding round for parent company WindGen Power USA Inc.
Why it matters
The initiative aims to provide reliable electricity to populations with limited access while scaling sustainable energy models across Nigeria. It bridges a critical infrastructure gap by transitioning regional projects from development into active delivery.
The expansion is expected to generate 9 MW of power and deliver 17 MWh of energy impact. These projects will support 6,000 new electricity connections and create 470 jobs.

Customers in project areas can expect improved reliability in electricity access for home and business use. The initiative also provides new local employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
