The project will construct 710kWp total capacity of solar-hybrid mini-grid in four communities without grid access within Benue and Kogi states, that will connect 7,032 households and small businesses. Construction is planned to commence in 2026 and commercial operations for 2027. Magnificent Catalytic Inclusions Limited delivers decentralised clean energy across Nigeria. To date, the Company has constructed and currently operates three (3) mini-grids with a combined PV capacity of 97kWp, providing electricity to approximately 270 connections across Kogi and Enugu states.

The Project will deploy nine mini-grids with a combined solar generation capacity of 609.0kWp across nine communities in Jigawa State, providing reliable electricity to approximately 4,557 residential, commercial and productive-use connections, reaching more than 20,000 people and 400 businesses. The solar PV systems will be supported by battery storage and inverter systems with estimated capacities of 2,685.0kWh and 770.0kW, respectively, to provide backup energy.
In April 2025, EML entered into a Joint Developer Agreement (JDA) with the Distributed Renewable Energy Enhancement Facility (DREEF) LLC* to strengthen the bankability, technical robustness, and investment readiness of its mini grid pipeline. This partnership significantly enhances the Company’s institutional depth and supports its AssetCo operating model, positioning EML to deliver technically sound, commercially viable, and investment-ready mini grid projects that meet lender and funder requirements.
*DREEF, is a specialised project development facility designed to eliminate operational and financial hurdles faced by Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) projects. Its mandate is to accelerate access to long-term local currency capital and support DRE developers in transitioning into fully mature Renewable Energy Service Companies (RESCos).
