Renewable Energy Master Plan

The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) seeks to increase the share of renewable electricity in Nigeria, from 13% of electricity generation -mainly met by large hydro- in 2015, to 23% in 2025 and 36% by 2030. A main driver for such increase is the diversification of the national electricity mix.

Targets for installed electricity capacity are included for Hydro, Solar PV, wind, biomass and solar thermal technologies. Installed capacity should reach 600 MW in 2015 and 2, 000 MW by 2025 for small hydro, 500 MW for solar PV, rise dramatically from 50 MW in 2015 to 400 MW by 2025 for biomass and reach 40 MW for wind energy by 2025. If such targets are met, renewable electricity should account for 10% of Nigerian total energy consumption by 2025.

Simultaneously to this increase in generated power, the REMP targets electricity access improvement in both urban and rural areas, from 42% in 2005 to 60% in 2015 and 75% by 2025.

Regarding the institutional framework dedicated to renewable energy (RE) deployment, the REMP underlines the need for the creation of a specialised fund and Agency (NREA). The REMP also initiates a set of fiscal and market incentives to support RE deployment. On the short term, the plan includes a moratorium on import duties for renewable energy technologies. On a longer run, the plan foresees the implementation of customs duty exemption for imported RE appliances, tax credits, capital incentives and preferential loans opportunities.

Big Oil Eyes Record Profits but Keeps Spending in Check

Oil supermajors have been raking it in since the war in the Middle East began. They are now set to report another robust quarter, even as some jurisdictions where they operate plan to slap windfall taxes on them. The question now is what Big Oil will do with these profits. The answer: it probably won’t be a spending spree. They sure have the money for a spree. If the second quarter is any indication—and it is—oil and gas majors are having a really strong year. Out of all S&P 500 sectors, Energy booked annual growth of 128.2%…

U.S. Energy Red Tape Gives China an Edge

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 was introduced in the Senate at the end of September and is expected to be debated after the mid-term elections when Congress returns from the recess on November 9. The bill would reinforce statutory deadlines…
