Nigeria’s energy elite to focus on restoring investor confidence

The rebranded Future Energy Nigeria will return to Lagos in November and will focus on the bold turnaround plan of the Nigerian government, known as the Power Sector Recovery Program, which is earmarked to restore investor confidence in the sector following reported problems in the country’s electricity market. U$D7.6-billion has been earmarked for this recovery process that the government developed in partnership with the World Bank.

“The Nigerian government is serious about restoring investor confidence and providing an enabling environment to grow private investments in the electricity sector,” says Claire O’Connell, event director of Future Energy Nigeria. She adds: “there are huge opportunities in the Nigerian electricity supply industry for local and international investors. There are also very advantageous incentives in place for investors such as cost reflective tariffs for electricity, 0% duty on power generation equipment and 20% capital allowance for five years.”

Nigeria’s energy sector, quick facts*:

Generation:

  • Current installed generation capacity: 11.1 GW (2016)
  • Aimed for installed capacity by 2030: 32 GW
  • Investment required to reach this goal: U$D26.99-billion
  • Generation mix of 2030 goal includes:
    • Gas: 41%
    • Solar PV: 16%
    • Large hydropower: 15%
    • Coal: 10%
    • 18%: nuclear, small-medium hydro, biomass, solar thermal and wind.

Transmission & Distribution:

  • Current transmission capacity: 6.6 GW
  • Aimed for capacity by 2022: 20 GW
  • The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) estimates it will need about U$D4.2-5-billion until 2020 to rehabilitate and modernise existing facilities.
  • Complete projects are already under construction to expand the network to 10 GW.
