#Nigeria’s Renewable Energy Sector

[femigbajabiamila]

The Vast Potential of Nigeria’s Renewable Energy Sector

With a growing population, Nigeria is facing an increasing demand for electricity. The country is rich in fossil fuels and also enjoys significant potential in terms of the development of renewable sources of power. While this potential has, to date, gone largely untapped, things are changing, and now may be the ideal opportunity for Nigeria to change its energy mix and deliver more reliable, cleaner power to its citizens.

Creating a Stable Supply of Electricity

The Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila recently spoke about the Federal Government’s commitment to actively pursuing a variety of initiatives designed to sustain and improve national power supply. Discussing the enormity of what can be achieved when public and private bodies join forces to work towards a common goal, Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to addressing the complex challenges of ensuring a stable supply of power across the whole of Nigeria.

Investing in Renewables

In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing renewable infrastructure in Nigeria. The $80.6 million UK government initiative Solar Nigeria was announced in 2014, aiming to build a distributed solar energy market in the country. Furthermore, northern Nigeria’s windspeeds are fast enough to support wind turbines, suggesting a potentially significant investment opportunity. Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Power has mapped out the movements of offshore winds to assess wind energy potential over the country’s waters with a view to future renewables development.

Transition to Renewable Energy

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has unveiled several planned infrastructure projects to mark its transition to renewables. Opportunities to invest in renewable energy projects include those around solar and wind energy power generation, sugarcane fuel ethanol, cassava fuel ethanol, oil palm biodiesel in Calabar and emission reduction.

Shifting Away from Home Generators

Many households in Nigeria own and use their own generators to meet their energy needs, largely due to the instability of the national power supply. The transmission away from these low-efficiency, local generators is likely to improve the country’s carbon footprint; as of last year, Nigeria was the third-highest emitter of greenhouse gases in Africa. It’s worth noting, however, that Nigeria is a relatively low carbon emitter globally, with carbon dioxide production per capita 8.7 times lower than the UK.

The Future

Although power outages remain a problem in Nigeria, the country’s federal government is switching focus to renewables, rather than fossil fuels, to meet Nigeria’s power needs.

Meet the Nigerian women spearheading solar projects

32-year-old green energy entrepreneur Yetunde Fadeyi will never forget what inspired her to start a clean energy company in Nigeria.

As a six-year-old, Fadeyi’s best friend, Fatima, was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning in her Lagos home, along with her father and pregnant mother.

“She often came over for sleepovers. But that day she didn’t,” says Fadeyi. “It was the time that they were stealing people’s generators, so they kept [the generator] in an enclosed area and by the time it was morning they were dead.”

After a childhood in Lagos plagued by intermittent electricity, a degree in chemistry and training in solar panel installation, Fadeyi started Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability (REES). The non-profit is dedicated to climate advocacy and providing clean energy to poor communities in rural Nigeria.

Bringing solar energy to Nigeria’s poorest homes

Since its inception in 2017, REES Africa has provided solar energy to over 6,000 people in the poorest parts of Nigeria, funded by grants and philanthropic donations.

It supplies solar microgrids, which generate energy through solar panels and store them in battery banks for distribution. The small grids bring high quality, cheap and constant power to up to 100 homes each, powering light bulbs, radios, sockets and other low energy appliances.

Fadeyi says that energy companies don’t see any potential for profit in poor and marginalised communities. With around 40 per cent of Nigerians living below the national poverty line, it’s up to companies like Fadeyi’s to fill the gap for now.

Professor Yinka Omoregbe is hoping to bridge this energy gap as CEO of Etin Power, providing energy to offgrid communities using mini solar grids. She brings a wealth of experience to the role as a former national advisor on the reform of Nigeria’s petroleum sector and a former state attorney general.

In its first year, Etin Power provided electricity to over 5,200 people in three neglected coastal communities in Edo State, southern Nigeria. While the results so far are small, Omoregbe’s ambitions are far bigger.

We will have proven that it is possible to profitably give green energy to vulnerable communities.”

The Guardian

Nov. 9, 2022

The US government has unveiled a new voluntary carbon trading market scheme with the aim of boosting private investment in clean energy projects in developing countries.

John Kerry, the US’s climate envoy, said the new initiative, called the energy transition accelerator, will be created in partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bezos Earth Fund to help deliver the trillions of dollars of investment needed to help poorer countries transition to renewables and stave off disastrous climate impacts.

Nigeria and Chile are already interested in the plan, Kerry said, which could be operational from next year and will involve the buying and selling of credits that represent carbon pollution. This market, which will not be open to fossil fuel companies, is designed to bolster investment in renewables and help slash emissions.

Annual investment in clean energy needs to triple to more than $4tn (£3.5tn) by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency, to avoid dangerous global heating, but Kerry said leaders of developing countries struggle to raise enough money, requiring new ways to grow private investment.

“We have to win the battle against the climate crisis, not give in to business as usual,” Kerry said. “I’ve been doing this [talking about climate change] since 1988 and I don’t know about you but I’m tired about talking about the same stuff – we have to break the mould. If we don’t come up with creative ways to mobilise money, we are going to blow through 1.5C [of global heating].”

Carbon markets have proved controversial, however, with critics pointing out they often lead to minimal emissions reductions while burnishing the green reputations of large companies. Kerry acknowledged that “mistakes of the past” had damaged the reputation of carbon markets, but vowed that strong safeguards would ensure only “high-quality” credits would be used. Some environmental groups were not convinced, however.

“The private sector can and must play an important role in tackling the climate crisis,” said Rachel Cleetus, policy director at the Union of Concerned Scientists. “However, a voluntary carbon credit program won’t guarantee deep, real cuts in emissions; it’s tantamount to rearranging the deck chairs as the climate ship is going down.”

Dangote Refinery Seeks Court Annulment of Competitors' Import Licenses, Demands N100 Billion in Damages.   Dangote Refinery has filed a lawsuit seeking the annulment of import licenses held by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Matrix Energy, and four other companies. The move comes amid escalating tensions within the energy sector over fuel import rights and regulatory compliance. The case, filed at a Federal High Court, highlights Dangote Refinery’s challenge to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). The company accuses the regulatory body of unlawfully granting and renewing import licenses for competitors, despite the commencement of its operations aimed at addressing Nigeria’s domestic fuel demands. Bayelsa Deputy Governor Narrates How He Was Accused Of Election Ritual Killings Dangote Refinery is also pursuing N100 billion in damages from the NMDPRA, citing economic losses and alleged regulatory misconduct. The lawsuit asserts that the continued importation of petroleum products by NNPCL and the other firms undermines the refinery’s operations and contradicts national policy objectives of reducing fuel imports. “The granting of import licenses to NNPCL, Matrix Energy, and other companies runs contrary to the Nigerian government’s goal of achieving fuel self-sufficiency and promoting local refining capacity,” a source familiar with the case said. This legal action marks a turning point in the dynamics between local refining and import-dependent supply chains. Dangote Refinery, which was commissioned earlier this year, was widely expected to significantly reduce Nigeria’s reliance on fuel imports. However, persistent imports by major energy companies have raised concerns about market competition and regulatory inconsistencies. Industry analysts predict that the outcome of this lawsuit could reshape Nigeria’s petroleum sector. If Dangote succeeds in its quest to nullify the licenses, it would alter the market structure, potentially granting the refinery a dominant position in local supply chains. The NNPCL and the other companies involved have yet to issue statements responding to the legal claims. The NMDPRA, tasked with regulating Nigeria’s petroleum sector, also remains silent on the matter as of the time of reporting. The court is expected to schedule a hearing soon, where the various parties will make their submissions. The case underscores the complex interplay of business interests, regulatory oversight, and national policy within Nigeria’s energy landscape.
