How is our work driving impact at a national scale? Case study 7 Driving systems change in Nigeria through DRE and increasing utilization of energy for productive uses With Africa's largest number of unelectrified households, Nigeria can be characterized as an energy access-deficit country. Supply and utilization are low and stagnant at the national level, reflecting mutually reinforcing challenges of low supply due to weak demand and low demand given current supply.

At the same time, the grid remains heavily dependent on natural gas, with renewables accounting for less than a quarter of generation. What’s more, governance indicators suggest significant room for policy strengthening (see Exhibit 21).
