Summary. Off-grid renewable energy systems enjoy moderate to high acceptance across stakeholder groups in North-Central Nigeria, with community members showing the strongest support. Business models including Pay-As-You-Go, mini-grids, Energy-as-a-Service, and public-private partnerships are seen as viable for rural electrification. The study recommends involving local communities in project planning and implementation, while strengthening policy alignment and regulatory clarity to build stakeholder confidence.
