Investment Associate at All On Partnerships for Energy Access Limited by Guarantee
All On Partnerships for Energy Access Limited by Guarantee - Nigeria has a 175,000MW power gap and an estimated 28 million households and 11 million SMEs that are either off grid or receive less than four hours of power per day (bad grid). This amounts to 140 million people living without access to reliable and affordable power. Addressing the access-to-energy challenge in Nigeria requires a combination of both the traditional large-scale power generation approaches and distributed power innovations that are smaller scale, lower cost, and quicker to market. All On Partnerships for Energy Access (‘All On’) was established by Shell as an impact investing company to work with partners to increase access to commercial energy products and services for the under-served and un-served off-grid markets in Nigeria, with a focus on the Niger Delta region.
