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.
