To validate the effectiveness of off-grid energy systems in Nigerian communities by assessing changes in energy access and economic performance.
Employed a difference-in-differences approach to analyze data before and after system installation.
Used propensity score matching to control for community differences.
Measured changes in electricity availability and income levels among communities.
Electricity availability increased significantly from 20% to 75%.
Income levels rose by 35%, indicating enhanced economic productivity post-installation.
The DiD model provided strong evidence of the positive impact of off-grid systems.
