Why is the Nigeria Power Investors Summit relevant?
Nigeria’s power sector reform witnessed setbacks from inception due to a lack of political will, the uprising of the labour party against the unbundling of the state owned PHCN and the resignation of the former Minister of Power created uncertainty and shattered the confidence of interested investors in Nigeria’s hugely attractive power privatisation process.
Suddenly, 2012 marked a major turning point in the history of Nigeria’s power sector.
After the restructuring of the Ministry of Power and a transparent and rigorous transaction process Manitoba hydro was first awarded the management contract for the transmission company of Nigeria (TCN), five core investors were awarded licenses for the Generation companies (GENCOs) and ten investors were awarded license for the distribution companies (DISCOs). The 15 preferred investors have now paid their 25% instalment for the purchase price for the PHCN successor company with a remaining 75% to conclude the negotiations.

Why is the Nigeria Power Investors Summit Relevant?
Industry News
Source: Business Wire
- In June 2010, the government revealed that the country will need to spend around US$6bn a year on electricity generation and distribution if it wants to become one of the 20 most industrialised nations in the world by 2020.
- During the period 2011-2021, Nigeria's overall power generation is expected to increase by an annual average of 7.07%, reaching 48.4TWh.
- Nigeria has abundant renewable energy resources, led by solar energy, biomass, wind and hydropower, with potential existing for geothermal and tidal power. The current state of renewable power generation use is very low. There is a lack of appropriate policy and regulatory and institutional framework to stimulate demand and attract investors.
- Following an increase in 2011 real GDP of an estimated 7.3%, BMI forecasts average annual growth of 7.2% between 2011 and 2021.
- Thanks partly to the forecast rise in net generation - growth of which barely matches the underlying demand trend - Nigeria is faced with a growing power supply shortfall.
