The Green Circle

The Nigerian renewable energy space has witnessed some growth in the past couple of years even though this growth has been limited to solar off-grid solutions. Despite this progress, the sector is still saddled with challenges that threaten to slow down the spate of progress.

In this episode, Segun Adaju, the President of the Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria (REAN) discusses consolidating Renewable Energy Growth in Nigeria.

Renewable Energy in Nigeria is receiving a tremendous spotlight with a focus on Solar and Hydro sources, particularly because of their infinite supply. However, industrial, agricultural, and household waste are looming to be another issue for Nigerians.

In this episode, Mr. Alex Bulnes, an Anaerobic Digestion & Biomethanation Consultant analyses Nigeria’s readiness for biomass energy.

Decentralised solutions such as mini-grids and solar home systems (SHS) have been hailed as the solution to remote energy needs. While the electrifying potentials of these solutions are quite visible, one area that has been largely overlooked is the aggregate potential of these distributed solutions.

In this episode, Emeka Chukwureh, the Director of International Strategy at the Electricity Exchange in Ireland discusses the potentials of virtual power plants on the continent.

Access to electricity is necessary to ensure a certain standard of life and economic productivity. In Sub-Saharan Africa, over 600 million people are without access to electricity. Decentralised off-grid solutions are increasingly being seen as a major solution to Africa’s energy challenges.

In this episode, Tobias Hobbach, Managing Director of Sustain Solar discusses the potentials of modular solar solutions.

Since inception, the meter asset provider scheme has faced different phases of challenges, causing the rollout of meters to customers to stall – the most popular being the 35% hike in import duties for meters last year. Recently, the regulator increased the price of the meters by 23% due to the devaluation of the naira.

In this episode, Mr Samuel Dangana, Managing Director, MERON Nigeria Ltd. analyses the present situation and the potential effect of the price increase on metering.
