Highlights

  • The DRE Nigeria Fund is the first country-focused DRE fund established under the DRE Africa Platform which will develop and invest in distributed renewable projects across Africa.
  • The commitment by the partners aligns with the Mission 300 goal to connect 300 million Africans to electricity by 2030.ย ย 

The Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and Africa50 today announced an innovative partnership for a US$500 million DRE Nigeria Fundย to develop and finance distributed renewable energy (DRE) projects in Nigeria. NSIA, SEforALL and Africa50 signed the Fundโ€™s Heads of Terms agreement at the SEforALL Global Forum in Barbados.

The aim of the DRE Nigeria Fund is to raise financing to offer tailored financial instruments and attract private sector capital while addressing critical challenges such as currency volatility, tariff structures, and the limited availability of local currency financing options.

Targeted investments will support mini-grids, solar home systems, commercial and industrial (C&I) power solutions, embedded generation projects, and innovative energy storage technologies.

This will ensure more reliable and cost-effective power access for Nigerian homes and businesses. A key objective of the Nigeria DRE Fund is to catalyze local currency funding from pension funds, insurance companies, and other local institutional investors.

Damilola Ogunbiyi CEO and SRSG for Sustainable Energy for All said the following:

โ€œThe launch of the DRE Nigeria Fund marks a pivotal moment in our collective efforts to address Africaโ€™s energy access challenges. This Fund will attract the long-term patient capital required to scale projects, especially from institutional investors. With the Fundโ€™s targeted focus on scaling up decentralized energy solutions, we are one step closer to achieving universal energy access across Nigeriaโ€.

The DRE Nigeria Fund, co-managed by Africa50 and NSIA, would serve as a model for other country-specific funds across the continent that are expected to be launched under the DRE Africa Platform.

In his remarks during the launch,ย Mr. Aminu Umar-Sadiq, MD & CEO, NSIAย emphasized the fundโ€™s strategic importance,

“The DRE Africa Platform represents another major step in our commitment to unlocking Africaโ€™s renewable energy potential. With the DRE Nigeria Fund, we are creating a scalable model to attract global investments, drive industrial development, and enhance energy access for millions of Nigerians and Africans at large. This initiative underscores our belief that sustainable infrastructure is critical to economic transformation, and we are proud to collaborate with SEforALL, ISA, and Africa50 to turn this vision into reality.”ย 

The DRE Nigeria Fund is expected to benefit from catalytic capital from the International Solar Alliance, through the recently announced Africa Solar Facility.

Sharing his congratulations on the announcement and expressing solidarity with the partners and the mission, Mr. Ashish Khanna, director General-Elect of the International Solar Alliance, said, โ€œMobilizing private investments and promoting catalytic finance through grants and equity is the key to a sustainable, energy-secure future for the Africa region which currently receives only 3% of global solar investments. Weโ€™ll begin with Nigerian homes and businesses and then take it to all countries of the continent.โ€

Also commenting on the announcement, Alain Ebobisse, Africa50 CEOย said in his remarks:ย 

โ€œThis is a strong partnership with solid partners which can be a game-changer in accelerating investment in distributed renewable energy across Africa. This innovative collaboration aims to unlock the right financing instruments to fund projects at scale and help solve the energy access gap in Africa, bringing power to millions of Africans, driving economic growth for businesses and communities across the continentโ€. He added, โ€œWe look forward to welcoming additional partners to the platform in the near future.

The Fundโ€™s core value lies in mobilizing institutional capital and fostering partnerships with the Nigerian government and private sector to scale renewable energy investments.
