The platform aims to reduce Nigeria’s reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate the impact of climate change.

Introduction

The Distributed Energy Resources (DER) platform is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to revolutionize the way Nigerians access and utilize clean energy.

CADEF’s executive director, Prof. Chiso Ndukwe-Okafor, at the launch of the platform in Lagos on Friday, emphasized the urgent need for accessible, accurate information about renewable energy systems such as solar panels, batteries, and charge controllers. She highlighted education as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s renewable energy transformation. “The state of electricity in Nigeria is no secret—demand far outstrips supply, and rural areas suffer the most. Beyond adoption, we must prioritize education and training to enable young Nigerians to maintain and manufacture renewable energy systems. This requires a complete overhaul of our educational curriculum to integrate renewable energy technologies,” she said.

This initiative aims to bridge the gap between education and industry by providing hands-on training and mentorship.
