America or India: Identifying a Suitable Off-Grid Rural Electrification Model for Nigeria.

Eti Best Herbert · 2022 · Journal of Sustainable Development Law and Policy (The)

Summary. Nigeria's rural electrification lags because grid expansion is slow and centralized. This paper compares American and Indian approaches to rural electrification. America built a robust national grid, while India rapidly expanded rural access through decentralized, renewable energy-based off-grid systems. India's model proves faster and more effective for rural electrification in developing countries like Nigeria.
