The Federal Government of Nigeria(FGN) will on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, launch its Energy Transition Plan(NETP) tailored to guide the country towards the twin objectives of achieving universal access to energy by 2030 and a carbon-neutral energy system by 2060.

According to a statement signed by the Director of Communications, Sustainable Energy for All (SEforAll), Sherry Kennedy, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, will lead other stakeholders to launch the energy transition plan in Abuja.

The Energy Transition Plan will also map out strategies for Nigeria to provide enough energy to the power industry and other productive uses.

The Energy Transition Plan is supported by Sustainable Energy for All, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet.

The launch will also feature remarks from prominent officials from Nigeria, Rwanda, Egypt and Senegal as well as international community leaders from the United Nations, Sustainable Energy for All, The World Bank, African Development Bank, IRENA, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet.

At COP26 in Glasgow last year, President Muhammadu Buhari announced Nigeria’s ambition to achieve net-zero by 2060. The launch of this plan showcases the country’s political leadership in the global energy sector, and especially on the African continent towards a just, equitable and inclusive energy transition.

The NETP was developed through the Energy Transition Commission, the insights from which were reflected in President Buhari’s address at COP26 in Glasgow, where he stated that Nigeria was looking for partners in innovation and finance to enable a ‘stable transition’ in energy markets and bottom-up transition pathways across energy markets, adaptation and resilience, nature-based solutions, clean cooking, gender, and green jobs.

The country has championed the cause for a just, equitable and inclusive energy transition in its role as a global theme champion on energy transition at the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy (HLDE), and submitted an ambitious UN energy compact which featured its immediate priorities to electrify 25 million people across 5 million homes and leverage natural gas resources to address access to clean cooking by 2027.

This ambition is backed by an integrated energy planning tool launched earlier this year which demonstrates how Nigeria will utilize geospatial data and modelling to identify the mix of technologies and the spending required to achieve universal energy access, said the statement.
