Lumer

The mission is to power Nigeria's informal markets with reliable, affordable clean energy - delivered through community partnerships and designed for how traders actually work.

Nigeria’s informal market traders lose productive hours and significant earnings to erratic grid power and expensive, noisy petrol generators. Fuel costs eat 20–30% of daily profits, spoilage destroys stock for food vendors, and unreliable power disrupts mobile money transactions. Traders need affordable, reliable energy during trading hours — but no solution fits how they actually work.

Lumer offers shared solar + battery systems deployed directly into organized market clusters. Traders access reliable clean power through a simple weekly subscription: a fixed base fee for guaranteed access plus an optional prepaid wallet. Smart meters automate everything — load limiting, credit top-up, and enforcement — eliminating debt and manual collections. Power that shows up, designed for how informal traders actually earn and work.
