The reality
Nigeria runs on guesswork.
Less than five gigawatts of grid power for over two hundred million people. Most neighbourhoods can't tell you when the light will come. Most businesses can't plan around it. So we measure it. Then we power around it.
<5GW
For 200M+ Nigerians
Less than 30 watts per person on a good day. The grid was never going to be enough on its own.

Tracked live
Citizen volunteers report uptime in real time, ground-truthed by phone-charging events. The dataset grows every week.

Public datasets, before
No one was publishing which neighbourhoods get power and when. So we're making the record open. CC BY 4.0.
If you don't measure it, you can't plan around it.
