REA Nigeria, short for Rural Electrification Agency Nigeria, is the premier implementing agency of the Nigerian government dedicated to bringing electricity to rural and underserved communities. Their mission is to provide reliable electric power supply to rural dwellers, regardless of their location or occupation, while ensuring reasonable returns on investment through economically responsive tariffs. As part of their mandate, REA promotes and coordinates rural electrification programs in the country and administers the Rural Electrification Fund (REF) to support electrification efforts through both public and private sector participation.

REA is leading a new paradigm shift by leveraging decentralized solutions to enhance access to electricity, including grid extensions, stand-alone systems, and mini-grids. They also focus on encouraging communities and private enterprises to develop mini-grids. REA's strategy includes pushing Distribution Companies (DisCos) to fulfill their grid extension obligations, rolling out stand-alone systems for the hardest-to-reach customers, and facilitating the development of mini-grids.

They aim to deliver critical services to rural areas and increase electrification rates across the country. Visit their website or contact REA Nigeria for more information on their impactful initiatives and how they are transforming lives through rural electrification
