Nigeria Power Report 2021/22

How the report can support your work

Nigeria Power Report 2021/22 examines the progress and impact of the government’s reform programme alongside the wider challenges facing the electricity supply industry as it tries to improve electricity supply.

• Independent supply and demand outlook – Installed capacity is woefully insufficient to meet demand and hampered by numerous constraints. The report includes African Energy’s five-year supply and demand forecast analysing installed generation capacity, available generation, fuel supply and network constraints.
   
• T&D opportunities – The government continues its privatisation drive with plans to sell Nigeria’s transmission entity and the proposed franchising of distribution. The report examines the impact of these moves, the role of mini-grids, and what possible opportunities may arise for T&D participants.
   
• Gas supply will be crucial – Gas will continue to fuel Nigeria’s power sector for many years to come while oil continues to play a key role in the country’s economy. The report includes a detailed assessment of the Petroleum Industry Bill and a forward-looking projection of gas availability for the power sector.
   
• Off-grid growth opportunities – the use of backup diesel generators is widespread, but opportunities for renewables solutions are growing. The report examines the regulations for off-grid generation and distribution and the emerging opportunities for entering this growing sub-sector.
   
• Political and economic risk – With President Buhari reaching the mid-way point of his final term and the economy reeling from the impacts of Covid-19 and the fall in oil prices from their early 2010s peak, the report explores the political dynamics influencing the future of Nigeria’s government and questions whether the bleak economic picture will improve in the coming years.
