Nigeria plans to increase renewable electricity generation to more than 30% by 2030. The country also has plans to increase the cumulative installed capacities of small hydropower, solar PV, biomass, and wind power by 2025.

Major policies and incentives Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP), National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEP), Off-grid Electrification Strategy, Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO), Feed-in Tariffs (Fits), Net Metering, Competitive Procurement, Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan, and Solar Hybrid Mini Grid Fund

The Nigeria renewable energy policy handbook offers comprehensive information on major policies governing the renewable energy market in the country. The report discusses renewable energy targets and plans along with the present policy framework, giving a fair idea of overall growth potential of the renewable energy industry. The report also provides major technology specific policies and incentives provided in the country.

Nigeria Renewable Energy Market Trends

Nigeria’s economy is fossil fuel driven, with its heavy dependence on the export oil products. The country has enormous natural energy resources; crude oil, natural gas, solar (particularly in the north), hydropower, and wind (mainly in the north and along the coastal line). Nigeria is facing the need for larger electricity supply and improved grid reliability and security. Furthermore, there are several attempts being taken by the government to develop renewable energy policies in the country. The Nigerian Government together with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) created the Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) in 2006, which was reviewed in 2012, to bring in structured development to the renewable energy market.

Nigeria Renewable Energy Market - Major Policies and Incentives

The major policies and incentives in the renewable energy industry in Nigeria are Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP), National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEP), Off-grid Electrification Strategy, Multi-year Tariff Order (MYTO), Feed-in Tariffs (Fits), Net Metering, Competitive Procurement, Nigerian Economic Sustainability Plan, and Solar Hybrid Mini Grid Fund.

Nigeria Renewable Energy Market - Master Plan

The REMP implemented a set of fiscal and market incentives to support renewable energy deployment in the country. In the short term, the plan includes a moratorium on import duties for renewable energy technologies. In the longer run, the plan advises the design of further tax credits, capital incentives, and preferential loan opportunities for renewable energy projects.

National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy

The National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy provides a general legislative framework for renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors and is followed by the creation of the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP), National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) and introduction of policy tools supporting renewable energy deployment. The major objectives of the policy are – development of Nigeria’s energy resources by diversifying the energy mix to achieve national energy security and an efficient energy delivery system, promotion of investments for the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors, establishment of appropriate financing mechanisms that support private investment in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sub-sectors, effective coordination and collaboration among all key stakeholders in the renewable energy and energy efficiency sub-sectors in Nigeria.

Nigeria Renewable Energy Market - Off-grid Electrification Strategy

The Off-grid Electrification Strategy is aimed towards providing clean and sustainable electricity to all houses in Nigeria. The major objectives of this strategy are- promoting  the use of decentralized energy solutions to power households, communities & businesses, developing 10,000 mini grids by 2023, providing uninterrupted power supply in federal universities and university teaching hospitals, deploying  5 million solar standalone systems for residential and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by 2023, supporting the Nigerian Government’s climate change obligations under the Paris Agreement, with respect to promoting renewable and reducing carbon emissions.

Nigeria Multi-Year Tariff Order

One of the primary functions of the NERC under the EPSRA, 2005 is to ensure that the prices charged by licensees are fair to customers and sufficient to allow the licensees to finance their activities and obtain reasonable profit for efficient operations. Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO), established by the NERC, is about the regulated prices to be paid to licensed electricity generation companies in providing electricity to distribution and retailing companies, pursuant to the authority given under the EPSRA, 2005.

Nigeria Feed-in Tariffs

The Government of Nigeria approved a new regulation for Feed-in Tariffs in November 2015 with an effective date from February 2016. The Long Run Marginal Cost (LRMC) and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) was the methodology used to set the FiT rates. The FiT is subject to review every three years from the date of publication and the revised FiTs shall be applicable only to the new plants commencing operations after the review. The PPA stands valid for a term of 20 years from the commercial date of operation. As per the FiT regulations, the tariffs are supposed to be reviewed every three years. Accordingly, the revision was scheduled in 2019; however, the same has not happened.

These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
