The epileptic nature of electricity supply in Nigeria requires a pragmatic introduction of the interconnected minigrid system to increase the number of insufficient hours of supply to customers. This approach has not been widely adopted by the licensed electricity distribution companies and minigrid investors despite the economic potentials and efforts of Nigeria’s Rural Electrification Agency in supporting the deployment. This paper follows the history of electricity in Nigeria to the current post-power sector reforms era, reviews the minigrid operations and business models that investors and stakeholders could adopt for the successful deployment of interconnected minigrid. It also showcases some viable commercially operated minigrids in selected locations in Nigeria. Conclusively, the paper made some recommendations for the successful deployment of interconnected minigrids for underserved distribution networks to augment gaps created by inadequate hours of supply.
