Renewable energy roadmap: Nigeria

This report analyses the additional renewable energy deployment potential up to the year 2050, with an additional 2030 focus to aid shorter-term policy development. The study encompasses all key sectors of the Nigerian energy system to provide additional context for energy policy discussions on how increased ambition in terms of renewable energy- beyond current government policy and targets can be realised. Renewable energy can help Nigeria not only meet its energy needs, but also power sustainable economic growth and create jobs while achieving global climate and sustainable development objectives. This study is carefully designed to capture the realities facing the country and sharpen its focus on key challenges and opportunities facing the Nigerian energy system. The actions needed to realize this future are multi-faceted and include policy, regulatory and financial related actions to place Nigeria on the path to a transformative future.
