As African countries intensify efforts to expand energy access under Mission 300, the conversation is shifting beyond building renewable energy projects to designing the institutions, financing mechanisms and implementation models that make those projects sustainable.
A multidisciplinary delegation from Zambia's Rural Electrification Authority visited the Nigeria Electrification Programme (NEP) Project Office in Abuja for a knowledge-sharing mission on the DARES Project, seeking practical lessons to support its US$200 million ASCENT programme.
In the Energy Industry, conversations on energy access often stop at megawatts, numbers of connections, or financing volumes. Yet the lasting success of large-scale energy programmes depends on an invisible but decisive architecture: environmental and social safeguards.
Nigeria’s evolving electricity landscape, particularly after the enactment of the Electricity Act 2023, has shifted from a predominantly centralized federal framework to a multi-level governance model.
In a high-level engagement that underscores the deepening ties between Africa’s largest economy and the world’s fifth-largest, the Nigeria Electrification Programme, alongside Yakubu Gowon University, hosted a distinguished delegation from California.
If Africa is to define its future through energy, then the imperative is the industrialisation
of scale, a bold, systemic commitment to powering production, not just consumption. As of 2022,
Nigeria’s population was estimated at over 200 million by the National Bureau of Statistics
(Demographic Statistical Bulletin, 2022)...
Olufemi Akinyelure, the Head of the Nigeria Electrification Programme (NEP), under the World Bank-assisted Rural Electrification Agency (REA), is driving a new wave of innovative strategies to bridge Nigeria’s rural electrification gap
On August 28th, 2024, The Electricity Hub hosted its 97th Power Dialogue, focusing on "Bridging Electrification Gaps in Rural Communities." This event focused on tackling energy access challenges in rural Nigeria, bringing...
