What We Are Looking For in Proposals

 Your solution should make effective use of renewable or hybrid energy systems, operate reliably across Nigeria’s diverse climate zones, and be built with durable, low-maintenance components suitable for real-world conditions.

 We are looking for ideas that can be produced locally or assembled from widely accessible materials, offer low operating costs over time, and show strong potential for expansion across multiple communities and regions.

 Proposals should be grounded in the real needs of communities—especially rural, peri-urban, or underserved populations—and should be safe, intuitive, and culturally appropriate for everyday users with minimal technical expertise.

 Innovations must prioritize clean energy use, significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels, minimize environmental harm such as refrigerant leakage, and incorporate principles of circularity, reuse, or local recycling where possible.
