Case Study: Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency achieves scalable project management and tracks 205 solar projects with AppSheet

Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency - Customer Case Study

Catalyst, a Zurich‑based digital technology and data solutions startup, partnered with the Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency (NREA) to address Nigeria’s energy poverty—where more than 95 million people lack electricity. NREA had no digital strategy to monitor and manage the 300+ projects it supports annually, leaving resource allocation, historical tracking, and scale-up toward universal access by 2030 unmanageable.

Catalyst built a mobile project‑management app with AppSheet in weeks, migrating thousands of historical records into a central Google Sheet, creating mobile‑friendly forms, dashboards by state and stage, and automated notifications; field agents were then equipped with Android phones to collect project data across the country. The app now enables NREA to track 205 solar projects concurrently, accelerating progress toward nationwide electrification and improving confidence in meeting its 2030 goals.
