Work Detail

Education And Training Services – 81322602 - International Consultancy For The Development Of Off-Grid Renewable Energy Projects - Lot 2. Short Project Nigerian Energy Support Programme (Nesp) Nesp Is Currently In Its Third Phase (June 2023 - May 2027) And Still Funded By The European Union (Eu) And The German Federal Ministry For Economic Cooperation And Development (Bmz). The Programme Is Implemented By The Deutsche Gesellschaft Für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (Giz) Gmbh In Collaboration With Nigerias Federal Ministry Of Power. Its Core Objective Is To Foster Investments In Domestic Renewable Energy (Re) And Energy Efficiency (Ee) Markets While Improving Electricity Access For Disadvantaged, Mostly Rural Communities, Including Those In Conflict-Affected Areas. Background With A Fast-Growing Population Now Estimated At 227 Million, Nigeria Is The Most Populated Country In Africa. With Only 60% Of Nigerias Population Connected To The Main Grid, The Rest Remains Unconnected. Power Supply Shortages Do Not Only Affect The Living Standards Of Nigerians, But Also The Competitiveness Of Nigerias Businesses And Industries. In Most Cases, Nigerians Resort To Expensive And Polluting Captive Diesel Generation To Satisfy Their Power Needs. As A Result, Nigeria Has Become One Of The Largest Markets For Diesel Generators In The World. With Its Huge Natural And Fossil Resources, Nigeria Is Africas Energy Giant And Energy Exports Are Essential For The Nigerian Economy Transition. However, Due To The Destabilisation Of Oil Prices There Is An Increasing Interest By Nigeria To Accelerate The Energy Transition By Increasing Investments In Sustainable Energy. The Energy Transition Plan (Etp) That Was Adopted In February 2022 Provides An Ambitious, Long-Term Strategy For The Energy Transition. It Builds On The Sustainable Energy For All (Seforall) Action Agenda And Its Vision 30:30:30, Setting The Target To Increase Power Generation Capacity To 30 Gigawatts (Gw) And The Re Share In The Electricity Mix To 30% Until 2030. Important Climate Policy Documents, Particularly The Nationally Determined Contributions (Ndc) And The National Policy On Climate Change, Have Been Updated To Show A Higher Level Of Ambition. Despite Reforms In The Past Decade, Nigerias Energy Sector Still Faces Significant Challenges. On-Grid Generation Is Limited By Weak Transmission Infrastructure, While The Distribution Side Suffers From Discos Liquidity Crises And High Technical And Commercial Losses. Electricity Demand Is Estimated At 30,000 Mw, Compared To An Average Peak Generation Of 5,000 Mw. To Address These Gaps, The Nigerian Government Passed The Electricity Act, 2023, Repealing The Electric Power Sector Reforms Act, 2005. The Act Decentralises The Electricity Market, Empowering State Governments To Establish State Electricity Markets (Sems). It Prioritises Re Deployment And Aims To Attract Private Investment Into The Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (Nesi). Several States Are Already Setting Up Sems, But Most Lack The Tools, Skills, And Resources To Implement Them Effectively. Therefore, Nesp
