Electricity sector assessment in Nigeria: the post-liberation era

Olubayo Babatunde et al.

Summary: In order to improve the electricity services in Nigeria, the government has implemented a comprehensive reform of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, starting from rehabilitating the government-owned electricity infrastructures in 1999 and implementing the 2010 Power Sector Reform. While some stakeholders have seen the positive impact of these reforms, others are yet to experience the benefits. This study provides an overview of the past, present, and future of the Nigerian power sector, exploring its state of the art and proposing the necessary improvements for stabilization.

An institutional framework for energy transitions: Lessons from the Nigerian electricity industry history

Joao Marcos Mott Pavanelli et al.

Summary: Reducing the dominance of fossil-based electricity generation is crucial for addressing climate change, but factors such as high costs and socio-political influences can hinder the transition to renewable energy sources. This paper explores the historical dynamics of institutions in the Nigerian electricity industry and their impact on energy infrastructure and governance choices.

A review of stakeholders and interventions in Nigeria's electricity sector

Norbert Edomah et al.

Summary: The study reveals that external stakeholder groups, such as donor agencies and multi-lateral organizations, exert greater influence in Nigeria's electricity sector through financial interventions. Lack of coordination and engagement among various stakeholder groups poses a challenge to effective electricity infrastructure interventions that address the needs of people in society.

Towards accelerating the deployment of decentralised renewable energy mini-grids in Ghana: Review and analysis of barriers

Dramani Bukari et al.

Summary: The study found that political barriers are the most significant obstacles to deploying mini-grids, accounting for 44.3%, while access to finance is considered to account for 11.7% of the importance share. Ghana's universal electrification still needs to overcome economic, technical, social, and environmental barriers.

Power struggles: Governing renewable electricity in a time of technological disruption

Lucy Baker et al.

Summary: The regulation, ownership, and governance of the electricity sector have been the subject of debates, which have been disrupted by low-carbon technological developments. Germany prioritized decentralized renewable energy systems with community ownership, while South Africa favored utility-scale generation projects. Recent policies in Germany are now encouraging large-scale projects by corporate actors, while South Africa sees small-scale distributed generation by wealthy consumers due to the lack of appropriate legislation. These dynamics challenge the assumption that low-carbon technological change will automatically lead to a reconfiguration of power structures.
