Building reliable power for the communities the grid left behind

Urim Energy is a Nigerian company developing solar mini-grids and metered electricity for underserved communities.

Who We Are

A mini-grid developer at the starting line

Urim Energy is at the project-development stage. We are researching communities, studying demand and building the technical and financial case for our first projects. We don't have sites, customers or funding to announce yet. When we do, they will be real and verified.

Our long-term goal is simple: electricity projects that pay for themselves and keep running, so communities get power they can rely on for years.

  • Find communities with little or no reliable power
  • Measure what people and businesses already spend on energy
  • Check that a project works technically and financially
  • Bring in investors, grants and partners to fund it
  • Supply electricity that customers pay for by metered use

The Problem

Many Nigerian communities either have no grid at all, or have poles and wires but only a few hours of power a day.

01

A delivery gap

Gas shortages, weak transmission and distribution losses mean far less power reaches homes than the power plants are built to produce.

02

A generator economy

Small businesses already pay for power in petrol, repairs and lost hours. That spending is the real price a mini-grid has to beat.

03

Unserved and underserved

Some communities have never been connected. Others are connected but badly served. Both need power generated close to where it is used.

How We Work

The principles behind every project

These guide how we choose sites, design systems and talk about our work.

01

Honest about our stage

We say what we are doing and what we have not done yet. We never claim projects, customers or results that don't exist.

02

Evidence before engineering

We size systems from what communities really spend and use today, not from hopeful survey answers.

03

Community first

We agree land and plans with families, traditional leaders and local government before any design work begins.

04

Built to last

We plan for battery replacement, maintenance and currency risk from day one, so the power keeps flowing.

Where we are today: early development, which means screening communities and assessing demand. We will share progress on this site as it is verified.
