Nigeria, EU, and Germany Launch GET.invest Clean Energy Partnership toAccelerate Renewable Development

In a significant step toward transforming Nigeria’s energy landscape, the Federal Ministry of Power, in collaboration with the European Union and the German Government, officially launched the GET Invest Nigeria Clean Energy Partnership on August 4, 2025. The announcement was marked by the establishment of the initiative’s first steering committee, signalling a coordinated push to expand access to renewable energy nationwide. The partnership aims to mobilize funding for solar, wind, and mini-grid projects, with a strong focus on supporting local developers and connecting them to banks and international investors. By strengthening Nigeria’s clean energy ecosystem, the initiative seeks to reduce the nation’s reliance on fossil fuels and align with global climate goals. Nigeria currently faces one of the world’s most severe electricity access challenges, with only about 45 per cent of its population enjoying reliable power. The GET.invest program is expected to play a pivotal role in addressing this gap by promoting decentralized energy solutions and enhancing rural electrification. Officials say the initiative will also stimulate economic growth by creating green jobs and boosting private sector participation in the energy market. The EU’s investment is viewed as a strategic move to promote sustainable development while supporting Nigeria in meeting its energy transition targets. The launch of GET Invest Nigeria marks a significant milestone in the country’s clean energy journey, with stakeholders optimistic about its potential to unlock new opportunities and deliver long-term impact
