        Energy Transition Plan (ETP)

        The Nigeria Energy Transition Plan (ETP) is a home-grown, data-backed, multipronged strategy developed for the achievement of net-zero emissions in terms of the nation’s energy consumption.The Nigeria ETP sets out a timeline and framework for the attainment of emissions’ reduction across 5 key sectors; Power, Cooking, Oil and Gas, Transport and Industry.Within the scope of the ETP, about 65% of Nigeria’s emissions are affected.It establishes the target of carbon neutrality by 2060.

        Nigeria Renewable Energy Master Plan

        Nigeria is facing the need for larger electricity supply and improved grid reliability and security.
        Targets:
        The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) seeks to increase the supply of renewable electricity from 13% of total electricity generation in 2015 to 23% in 2025 and 36% by 2030. Renewable electricity would then account for 10% of Nigerian total energy consumption by 2025.
        The Plan also encompasses installed capacity targets for a set of suitable renewable energies, declining as follows:

        Small-hydro: 600 MW in 2015 and 2, 000 MW by 2025;
        Solar PV: 500 MW by 2025;
        Biomass-based power plants: 50…

        Renewable Energy Master Plan

        …renewable electricity in Nigeria, from 13% of electricity generation -mainly met by large hydro- in 2015, to 23% in 2025 and 36% by 2030. A main driver for such increase is the diversification of the national electricity mix.

        Targets for installed electricity capacity are included for Hydro, Solar PV, wind, biomass and solar thermal technologies. Installed capacity should reach 600 MW in 2015 and 2, 000 MW by 2025 for small hydro, 500 MW for solar PV, rise dramatically from 50 MW in 2015 to 400 MW by 2025 for biomass and reach 40 MW for wind energy by 2025…

        The Electricity Act

        The Electricity Act 2023 aims at providing an integrated policy plan that recognises all sources for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, including the integration of renewable energy into Nigeria's energy mix.

        Nigeria Feed-in Tariff for Renewable Energy Sourced Electricity

        The government of Nigeria approved the feed-in tariff regulation in November 2015. The regulation enters into force in February 2016 and supersedes Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) II (2012-2017) .
        Aiming to make use of Nigeria`s vast and mostly untapped potential for renewable energy, the intent is to stimulate investment in the sector. By 2020, a total of 2,000 MW shall be generated through renewables like biomass, small hydro, wind and solar.
        According to the new regulation, the electricity distribution companies (Discos) will be obliged to source at least 50% of their total procurement from renewables. The…

        Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement: Nigeria

        …of the decade. With respect to oil and gas emissions, the revised NDC is significantly stronger than the prior NDC.  The revised NDC commits to end flaring by 2030, whereas the prior version committed only to “work towards ending” flaring by 2030.  The NDC also commits to reducing fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas operations by 60% by 2031. The NDC reports that fugitive emissions represent 36% of energy sector GHG emissions, which in turn account for 60% of the country’s total GHG emissions.  Thus, a 60% reduction would represent about 13% of total GHG emissions for Nigeria.

        Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement: Nigeria

        Nigeria has submitted its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement. The updated NDC sets economy-wide absolute emissions reduction targets instead of previous percentage reduction targets relative to a business-as-usual scenario. The NDC sets an economy-wide absolute emissions reduction target of 168.2 Mt CO2e in 2030 and 184.9 Mt CO2e in 2035 from base year 2018. This represents 29% and 32% of net national emissions in 2018, in 2030 and 2035, respectively. Nigeria aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2060.  With respect to oil and gas emissions, the NDC commits to…

        Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook

        …commercial at 12,260 thousand kilolitres, residential sector 11,600 thousand kilolitres and industry at 10,420 thousand kilolitres. Those figures indicate that 35% improvement of final energy intensity needs to be achieved from 2012 to 2030. Renewable electricity generation would be 237-252 TWh, and its share in total electricity generation would be 22-24% in 2030: solar PV 7.0%, wind 1.7%, biomass 3.7-4.6%, geothermal 1.0-1.1% and hydro 8.8-9.2%.

         

        This outlook must be re-examined at least every three years and can be revised corresponding to the situation.
