# Rivy is expanding to the North

Northern Nigeria has always been part of Rivy’s operating footprint. Over time, we’ve supported individuals, businesses, and solar vendors across the region, financing systems, funding inventory, and enabling access to cleaner energy.

## **What’s changing now is focus.**

The region has some of the highest solar irradiation levels in Nigeria, making solar power one of the most practical and cost-effective energy solutions for homes and businesses. At the same time, demand for reliable power continues to grow.

This makes it ideal for households and commercial systems alike.
