Nigerias Klimawandel im Jahr 2025: Vom Anspruch zur Umsetzung (EN)

A report by the Africa Policy Research Institute detailing Nigeria's transition from climate policy ambition to concrete implementation in 2025, highlighting strategic leadership changes, new energy policies, and the mobilization of significant climate finance.

• Nigeria updated its energy policy by replacing the 2001 National Electric Power Policy (NEPP) with the National Integrated Electricity Policy (NIEP). This new roadmap targets a renewable energy share of 60 percent by 2060 and the addition of 6.3 gigawatts of new installed capacity by 2030.
• The Nigerian government launched several financing and energy initiatives in 2025, including the 100-billion-naira National Public Sector Solarisation Initiative (NPSSI) to replace diesel generators in public institutions and the Nigerian Climate Investment Platform (NCIP), which aims to mobilize up to $500 million for resilience, adaptation, and climate-relevant infrastructure.
• Under the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP), the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) deployed over 200 mini-grids in underserved areas. This was supported by a $1.45 billion financing package involving the World Bank's DARES programme, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the African Development Bank (AfDB), alongside a $200 million partnership with WeLight and $435 million in memoranda of understanding with developers including Oando Clean Energy, Sosai, and Okra Solar.
• In September 2025, Nigeria submitted its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), which estimates a funding requirement of $337 billion between 2026 and 2035. The NDC targets an unconditional emissions reduction of 29 percent and a conditional reduction of up to 32 percent by 2030 compared to 2018 levels, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2060.
• Nigeria is leveraging its hydrocarbons sector for climate gains through the Nigerian Gas Flaring Commercialisation Programme (NGFCP), which has issued permits to 28 companies to capture flared gas for industrial use, LPG production, and power generation, with a potential to unlock up to three gigawatts of power.
