EU Nigeria Cooperation Programme for Sustainable Energy Sector in Nigeria Phase1

About this project

This action will build on this work in the sector by supporting Nigeria in its effort to bridge the deficit in terms of renewable power generation and electricity access through a combination of on- and off-grid interventions. The action will help improve access to sustainable and reliable energy, as well as increase adoption of energy efficiency measures. It will prioritise activities aimed at increasing production and distribution of electricity, and strengthening the role of private sector operators. It will do so through support to regulatory and policy environment for increased private sector involvement, increased investments in the sector, diversification of renewable energy sources, and circular economy solutions. It will be organised under four components: investment in energy infrastructure, technical assistance for access to finance, policy development and implementation, and a pioneer intervention in circular economy in the plastic value chain (relevant for plastic casings of solar system batteries).
