About this project

atmosfair gGmbH intends to support the rural electrification in Nigeria through the implementation of several solar-hybrid mini grids in Nigeria. The first project “Toto Interconnected Mini-grid” is an initiative by the Nigerian company PowerGen Renewable Energy Nigeria Limited and the German non-profit company atmosfair gGmbH to ensure over 2,000 customers in Toto, Nasarawa State have access to clean, reliable & affordable power. The project will refurbish an existing distribution grid, which is not in operation since over 2 years and will install a 350kWp PV plant and 700 kWh of lithium-ion battery storage, with additional 500kVa diesel generator as a back-up. The solar-hybrid mini-grid being developed by PowerGen in cooperation with the national grid will be able to provide 24 hours of power per day, 7 days per week. The project activity will take off with a pilot project in the village Toto, Nasarawa State. The mini-grid will support the economic development of the community, as businesses will be able to power their operations and run productive uses of energy, like welders or mills. Finally, the mini-grid will offer power at a lower cost than running a diesel or petrol generators to access power. Similar sub-projects shall be implemented all over Nigeria under this PDD.
