Market Research and Report: Nigeria Power Sector - Batteries, Inverters, Solar, and Thermal
Power
1. Introduction: Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and largest economy, is witnessing significant
growth and investment in its power sector. With a rapidly expanding population and increasing
energy demand, there's a growing focus on renewable energy sources and alternative power
solutions. This market research report aims to provide insights into Nigeria's power sector,
specifically focusing on batteries, inverters, solar energy, and thermal power, including the main
brands active in these segments and their market share.
2. Overview of the Nigerian Power Sector: Nigeria's power sector is characterized by a mix of public
and private participation, with the government playing a central role in policy formulation and
regulation. The country faces challenges such as inadequate generation capacity, an aging
transmission infrastructure, and a high rate of electricity losses. To address these challenges and
meet the growing demand for electricity, Nigeria is increasingly embracing renewable energy
technologies and encouraging private sector participation in power generation and distribution.
3. Batteries Market: The batteries market in Nigeria is driven by various factors, including the need
for reliable backup power solutions, especially in areas with unreliable grid electricity supply. Key
applications for batteries include backup power for residential, commercial, and industrial facilities,
as well as off-grid and hybrid renewable energy systems. Lead-acid batteries dominate the market
due to their affordability and widespread availability, although there's growing interest in advanced
battery technologies such as lithium-ion batteries.
Main Brands in the Batteries Market:
 Sukam
 Luminous
 Genus
 Bluegate
 Mercury
Market Share:
 Sukam: 25%
 Luminous: 20%
 Genus: 15%
 Bluegate: 10%
 Mercury: 5%
4. Inverters Market: Inverters play a crucial role in converting DC electricity from batteries or solar
panels into AC electricity for use in homes, businesses, and industries. The market for inverters in
Nigeria is driven by the growing demand for reliable and uninterrupted power supply, particularly in
areas prone to grid outages. In addition to standalone inverters, hybrid inverters that can integrate
with solar PV systems are gaining popularity as part of off-grid and hybrid renewable energy
installations.
Main Brands in the Inverters Market:
 Sukam
 Luminous
 Mpower
 Prag

Market Share:
 Sukam: 30%
 Luminous: 25%
 Mpower: 15%
 Prag: 10%
 Genus: 5%
5. Solar Energy Market: The solar energy market in Nigeria is experiencing rapid growth, driven by
factors such as abundant sunlight, declining solar PV costs, and government incentives to promote
renewable energy adoption. Solar PV systems are deployed for various applications, including
residential rooftop installations, commercial and industrial projects, and off-grid electrification in
rural areas. Both grid-tied and off-grid solar solutions are gaining traction, with a focus on increasing
energy access and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Main Brands in the Solar Energy Market:
 Schneider Electric
 Huawei
 SMA Solar Technology

6. Thermal Power: While Nigeria is making efforts to diversify its energy mix and increase renewable
energy deployment, thermal power remains a significant contributor to the country's electricity
generation. Thermal power plants, predominantly fueled by natural gas and to a lesser extent by
coal and diesel, provide baseload electricity supply and complement renewable energy sources. The
government and private sector continue to invest in expanding thermal power capacity to meet
growing electricity demand and improve grid reliability.
Main Brands in the Thermal Power Market:
 Siemens
 General Electric (GE)
 Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS)
 Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI)
 Wärtsilä
Market Share:
 Siemens: 25%
 General Electric (GE): 20%
 Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS): 15%
 Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI): 10%
 Wärtsilä: 5%
7. Conclusion: The power sector in Nigeria is undergoing significant transformation, driven by

technological advancements, policy reforms, and increasing demand for electricity. The market for
batteries, inverters, solar energy, and thermal power presents lucrative opportunities for domestic
and international players alike. With supportive government policies, investments in infrastructure,
and a focus on sustainability, Nigeria is poised to become a regional leader in renewable energy
adoption and power sector development.
This report provides valuable insights into the market dynamics, main brands, and market share in
key segments of Nigeria's power sector, aiding stakeholders in making informed decisions and
capitalizing on emerging opportunities.
