Off-Grid Solar Projects
Project Overview
PriVida Power Limited has successfully completed the development, construction, and commissioning of twenty-five (25) hybrid solar Mini-Grid projects across underserved communities in Benue, Kogi, Plateau, and Nasarawa States. These completed off-grid projects were implemented to expand access to reliable electricity and support socio-economic development in rural and peri-urban areas.
The Mini-Grid systems provide stable power to households, small businesses, and community facilities, enabling household lighting, education, healthcare delivery, and productive economic activities. Access to reliable electricity has supported extended business hours, improved service delivery, and enhanced productivity across host communities.
The completed Mini-Grid portfolio has a combined installed capacity of approximately 2.5 MWp and delivers over 2,000 MWh of clean electricity annually. Project implementation prioritised community engagement and local participation, resulting in job creation during construction and ongoing operations and maintenance. By displacing diesel and petrol generators, these projects have reduced emissions, improved air quality, and lowered energy costs, demonstrating PriVida’s capability to deliver scalable and sustainable off-grid energy infrastructure.
Development, Construction and Commissioning of Twenty-Five (25) Solar Mini-Grids:
Situated across multiple underserved communities in Benue, Kogi, Plateau and Nasarawa in Nigeria, this portfolio of 25 Hybrid Solar Mini-Grid projects developed by PriVida Power Limited demonstrates our commitment to expanding sustainable energy access at scale. The projects were designed to address critical energy gaps while catalyzing inclusive socio-economic development across rural and peri-urban communities.
The Mini-Grid portfolio now serves more than 22,500 households, positively impacting over 225,000 lives with access to reliable and sustainable electricity. The systems power homes, schools, health facilities, and local enterprises, enabling safer lighting, improved learning outcomes, better healthcare services, and stronger economic activity. With consistent power availability, businesses can operate longer hours, public services function more effectively, and communities experience measurable gains in productivity and quality of life.
Project implementation prioritized community engagement and local participation, resulting in the creation of over 100 direct jobs and more than 2,000 indirect jobs during construction and and current Ooperations and Maintenance (O&M). Capacity-building initiatives supported local technicians and operators, strengthening long-term system reliability and community ownership.
With a combined installed capacity of 2.5 MWp and an estimated annual energy generation of 2,082,437 kWh/year, the Mini-Grid portfolio significantly reduces dependence on diesel and petrol generators. This translates to estimated annual CO₂ emission reductions of 222.48 CO₂/year, contributing to improved air quality, reduced fuel costs, and better public health outcomes.
This Mini-Grid portfolio reflects PriVida Power Limited’s scalable and impact-driven approach to distributed energy development one that integrates sound engineering, regulatory alignment, community inclusion, and environmental sustainability to deliver durable energy infrastructure that supports people, productivity, and long-term prosperity.
