On this episode of WATTS with the Grid, we are joined by Dolapo Kukoyi (Managing Partner, Detail Solicitors) and Habiba Ali (Managing Director/CEO, Sosai Renewable Energies Company). Fresh from COP 29 in Azerbaijan, they share their perspectives on key discussions that featured at the event, such as climate finance, energy access, and the importance of positioning Nigeria to leverage global opportunities.
While electricity in Nigeria is generated through thermal and hydropower, fossil fuels are the main source of electricity generation. Nigeria plans to increase international exports and domestic consumption and at the same time meet emissions and sustainable development goals. Can these two objectives be achieved at the same time? What could be the risks?
Olajumoke Delano, Chi Chi Emenike and Itohan Ehiede discuss these questions with Stella Odiase.
How does the changing climate affect electricity infrastructure?
UKNIAF’s mission is to promote infrastructure that is inclusive, climate-friendly, and supports both economic growth and human development. In ushering in COP28, we draw from our own experiences to present this brief.
The on grid power generation capacity in Nigeria needs to improve as much of the power requirement is fueled by diesel generators! This also means a high rate of air pollution! UKNIAF works with the National Control Centre to improve on-grid power generation which in turn will reduce the use of diesel generators and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
