NXT Grid’s assets will grow in Nigeria over the next two years. The solar mini-grid company is raising $1.4 million to fund its expansion. The funds were raised from Katapult Climate and All On, an investment company funded by Anglo-Dutch oil company Shell, and very active in the renewable energy sector in Nigeria.
