Improving access to energy services among the underserved requires understanding the status quo in energy access and estimating future energy requirements of energy service provision. In this paper, we present a novel survey dataset collected in 2021 within the framework of the PeopleSuN project. Across three Nigerian geopolitical zones, a total of 3,599 households and 1,122 small and medium-sized enterprises were surveyed. The sample is representative of grid-electrified regions of each zone, excluding urban centres. Our surveys collect data on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, energy access and supply quality, electrical appliance ownership and usage time, cooking solutions, capabilities, and preferences. We encourage academic use of the data presented and suggest three avenues of further research: (1) modelling appliance ownership likelihoods, electricity consumption levels and energy service needs in un-electrified regions; (2) modelling the integration of decentralised renewable and battery storage solutions to address high usage of diesel generators in peri-urban regions; (3) exploring broader issues of multi-dimensional energy access, access to decent living standards and climate vulnerability.
