INVESTING IN NIGERIA’S TRANSITION ENERGY CASE STUDY

The document details the creation of Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan (ETP), which aims for net-zero emissions by 2060. Developed through a partnership between SEforALL and the Nigerian government, the plan identifies a total investment need of USD 1.9 trillion and an initial project pipeline of USD 23 billion. The ETP focuses on five sectors—power, cooking, oil and gas, transport, and industry—which account for 65% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. Implementation is supported by the Energy Transition Office, which has helped secure over USD 3.6 billion in finance commitments as of 2022.

• Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan (ETP) targets 'Net Zero' greenhouse gas emissions by 2060 and identifies a total investment requirement of USD 1.9 trillion, which includes USD 410 billion above a 'business-as-usual' scenario.
• The ETP focuses on five energy-related sectors—power, cooking, oil and gas, transport, and industry—which collectively represent 65% of Nigeria's total greenhouse gas emissions.
• An initial pipeline of energy infrastructure projects requiring USD 23 billion in investment has been identified, with specific near-term priorities including the rollout of five million decentralized solar systems in rural areas, the displacement of diesel generators with solar-battery systems, the elimination of gas flaring, vehicle electrification for e-mobility, and an expanded national clean cooking programme.
• The partnership led to the passage of the Climate Change Act 2021 and the establishment of the Energy Transition Office, which supported new financial commitments exceeding USD 3.6 billion toward the plan's implementation in 2022.
