Every Nigerian can light up their home with solar – BrightGrid CEO
In a country where the sound of generators often drowns out the night, one company is quietly leading a clean energy movement. BrightGrid Innovations Ltd, headed by renewable energy advocate Ikenna Desmond Obumkaneme, is working to make solar power a practical and affordable solution for everyday Nigerians.
“We believe everyone can light up their home with simplified solar energy packages — and this is what we are championing at BrightGrid Innovations,” Ikenna Desmond said in a recent interview. “Energy shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be clean, affordable, and reliable for all.”
One of BrightGrid’s most impactful programs in the coming days is the BrightLease plan. The initiative allows households to adopt solar energy with minimal upfront costs, breaking down one of the biggest barriers to clean energy access.
“People want reliable power without the noise and fumes,” Ikenna said. “Our dream is to see homes glow at night with clean energy, where businesses run without generator fumes, and where families can sleep in peace.”
“Our goal is simple,” Ikenna Desmond added. “A Nigeria where solar energy isn’t a luxury but a way of life.”
