In Nigeria, where over 95 million people lack access to energy and 65% of them live in rural areas, Entric Energy has emerged as a leading provider of clean, affordable, and reliable energy solutions, with a specific focus on underserved rural communities in Nigeria.

Launched in 2018, the Port Harcourt-based company has been at the forefront of transforming lives by bringing access to electricity to remote areas that have historically lacked reliable power supply.

Entric Energy installs mini-grids fueled by renewable energy sources like solar and biomass, thanks to its creative business plan. Within a limited area, these mini-grids produce electricity that is then supplied to residences, companies, and community organizations. The advantages of contemporary energy services are guaranteed to reach even rural communities thanks to this decentralized strategy.

Entric Energy’s success can be attributed in large part to its dedication to community empowerment and engagement.

To guarantee that the solutions offered are customized to their particular situation, the organization maintains tight relationships with the local communities to fully understand their preferences and distinct energy needs. By encouraging a sense of sustainability and ownership among the communities, this cooperative approach helps the electrification projects succeed in the long run.

Entric Energy’s impact in Nigeria has been significant. By providing access to reliable electricity, the company has enabled rural communities to engage in productive economic activities, such as operating small businesses, accessing education and healthcare services, and improving their overall quality of life. Moreover, the use of renewable energy sources contributes to environmental sustainability and reduces reliance on expensive and polluting diesel generators.

Electricity for All

Entric Energy does not just dream of “electricity for all”; the firm is on a mission to make it a reality for one million households in Nigeria and across sub-Saharan Africa. The startup is utilizing its Entric Community Microgrid Program to electrify communities and transform lives.

The groundbreaking initiative leverages mini-grids, providing a versatile platform that integrates multiple energy sources to deliver reliable electricity. This unique capability enables it to harness the distinct advantages of various energy sources while ensuring a constant and dependable power supply to our customers.

By aggregating distributed energy sources, Entric Energy substantially reduces the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), making its tariffs more affordable and environmentally friendly compared to standalone petrol and diesel generators.

Entric Energy employs a syncretistic framework designed to assess the viability of mini-grids in rural communities. Its unique approach combines the Social, Technical, Environmental, Economic, and Political (STEEP) analytical paradigm with innovative project finance structures and advanced power system planning tools. This comprehensive methodology ensures a thorough evaluation of potential host communities, allowing the startup to deploy mini-grid assets swiftly and efficiently.

Scaling Impact

Entric Energy’s commitment to reaching diverse communities across the country is exemplified by our streamlined deploy and operate framework. This structured process not only assesses the viability of mini-grids but also facilitates the seamless scaling of our program. Entric Energy is poised to extend its reach, bringing electricity to numerous communities in different regions, thanks to its effective and agile approach.

Entric Energy’s vision goes beyond just providing electricity; it’s about empowering communities, fostering sustainable development, and creating a brighter future for all. As we embark on this electrifying journey, we invite you to be a part of our mission—where innovation meets inclusivity and every household is illuminated with the promise of a better tomorrow.

In summary, Entric Energy stands as a beacon of hope for rural electrification in Nigeria. Their innovative approach, community-centric model, and commitment to clean energy have transformed the lives of thousands of people, bringing the benefits of modern energy services to remote areas that were previously left in darkness.
