The Nigeria Off-grid Market Acceleration Program (NoMAP) is a market building program jointly supported by the Shell Foundation and USAID’s Scaling Off-grid Energy (SOGE), to identify unaddressed off-grid energy market barriers and implement high impact initiatives to tackle them.
The Program builds on intensive research on the market challenges in the renewable energy space in Nigeria and in its first year is focused on two high-impact initiatives;
- Pilot off-grid payment system for last mile collection for Solar Home System (SHS) companies
- Market intelligence data for mini-grids development and SHS deployment.
Pilot Off-Grid Payment System
The goal of the pilot is to develop a “work-around” that will address the current difficulties faced by SHS companies in collecting payment from their unbanked customers.
Market Intelligence Data
Providing solutions to data needs of stakeholders, through data collection, as well as geospatial analysis complemented with community-level field survey.
