From darkness to brilliance: ATESS Transforms Lives in a Nigerian Village

A view of the Kogi village from the street

In Nigeria's Kogi village, a quiet revolution has taken place over the past ten months—a transformation that transcends mere technological innovation. Where once darkness reigned due to a lack of connection to the power grid, now beams the promise of sustainable energy, thanks to the visionary support of the government's Rural Electrification Agency.

Imagine a community grappling with daily power shortages, where the most basic aspects of life hung precariously in the balance. This was the stark reality for Kogi village, nestled in a remote corner far from urban energy networks. However, through collaborative efforts, a mini-grid system was conceived and brought to life, heralding a new era of energy independence.

Central to this transformation is ATESS's cutting-edge energy storage system, seamlessly integrated with a 200kWp PV system. Featuring dual HPS100 hybrid inverters, a meticulously engineered DC cabinet, and a robust 500kWh ATESS battery system. Now this setup provides reliable power for the village. In addition, the community is metered and the money paid goes toward the project developer's load service.
