About DARES

The Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-up (DARES) project is a $750 million initiative, funded by the World Bank which aims to scale-up Nigeria's energy access gap.

DARES is designed to capitalize on the accomplishments of the World Bank-financed Nigeria Electrification Programme (NEP) DARES represents a crucial collaboration between Nigeria and the World Bank.

The Programme is the first-ever World Bank initiative of its kind. DARES aligns perfectly with Nigeria's ambitious Energy Transition Plan, aiming to transform the nation's energy landscape by expanding access to clean and sustainable power

DARES Objectives

The Project Development Objective is to increase access to electricity services for households and MSMEs with private sector-led distributed renewable energy generation. The proposed project is a part of the World Bank’s comprehensive, programmatic engagement in Nigeria’s power sector to help the FGN realize its ambitious Energy Transition Plan (ETP) vision
