Socio-economic impacts of energy access through off-grid systems in rural communities: a case study of southwest Nigeria
Summary. Off-grid energy systems in rural southwest Nigeria created new businesses and jobs while reducing energy costs and increasing household income. The study analyzed how factors like gender, education, business age, and operating hours influenced income generation among electrified enterprises. Results demonstrate that energy access through off-grid systems drives measurable economic development in rural communities.
