Description: The chapter presents the status quo of Nigeria’s energy sector and is divided into five sections. The first extensively reviews the various conventional and renewable energy resources in Nigeria. The second and third sections presents the primary energy supply and consumption, respectively. The forth section presents an insight into the various government ministries, parastatals, and agencies that are relevant in the Nigerian energy sector. The last section in this chapter explores the Nigerian energy policies and strategies.

Author: Energy Access for All

Description: Despite Nigeria’s abundance of fossil and renewable energy resources, Nigerians still experience acute energy poverty: they either lack access to modern energy sources or have to cope with inadequate supply and poor quality. Close to 95 million people are fully reliant on traditional wood stoves for cooking, with the attendant health implications,i and a large but unknown number of especially urban households rely on generators for their electricity needs.

Description: Achieving sustainable energy development requires rational use of energy resources and technologies, and the development of appropriate policies. There is a huge deficit in supply of energy and this has become a major limitation to growth and quality of life. The developing nations of Africa are popular locations for the application of renewable energy technology. Nonetheless, largely remain untapped as a consequent of unconductive business environment; Nigeria faces a number of challenges across its energy triangle.

Author: Power Africa

Description: Nigeria is the largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa, but limitations in the power sector constrain growth. Nigeria is endowed with large oil, gas, hydro and solar resource, and it already has the potential to generate 12,522 megawatts (MW) of electric power from existing plants, but most days is only able to generate around 4,000 MW, which is insufficient. Nigeria has privatized its distribution companies, so there is a wide range of tariffs.

Author: Advocaat

Description: One of the key objectives of the Nigeria Electricity Sector reform was to create efficient market structures, within clear regulatory frameworks, that would encourage competitive markets for the entire electricity value chain in Nigeria. The implementation of market competition in the electricity sector was designed to progress gradually in four phases- the Pre-Transition Electricity Market (Pre-TEM), the Transition Electricity Market (TEM), Medium Term Electricity Market (MTEM) and the Long Term Electricity Market (LTEM).

Description: On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and with co-financing by the European Union (EU), the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP) is supporting the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing and other public and private partners to improve access to sustainable energy.

Author: Federal Ministry of Power

Description: Energy supply in Nigeria can be classified into two main categories, (a) urban and (b) rural. Urban areas are essentially on the grid while rural areas are largely off the grid. Improved energy supply to urban residents is being addressed mainly by the Roadmap for Power Sector Reforms, which was launched by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, in August 2012. The roadmap essentially focuses on the development of grid-based electricity. However, the on-going power sector reforms will only enable the extension of the national grid to large rural areas which are close to main urban areas.

Author: AJUMOGOBIA & OKEKE

Description: Nigeria has made a major transition from a vertically integrated, publicly-owned electricity network to a largely privately-owned unbundled electricity network, with the separation of the different segments of electricity business through a process called ‘unbundling’. The reforms have moved Nigerian power sector from a state monopoly to a competitive electricity market. Prior to the 2005 reforms, Nigeria, with a population of 165 million people, and an average generation of about 3,800 megawatts (MW), had a low per capita consumption. Thus, Nigeria embarked on the liberalisation and privatisation of electricity sector.

Author: Journal of Energy in Southern Africa

Description: Data for investment into renewable energy resources in Nigeria is mainly unavailable due to over reliance on conventional resources for energy generation. However, recent developments in the energy sector have portrayed gradual attention to investments in renewable energy resources. This paper reviews the Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) which identifies this improvement and presents a draft on how an increase in investment in renewable energy resources, which will in the long run balance the national energy equation, ensure energy security and promote sustainable development.
