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.
In this special episode, we feature a group of young women in the Power sector. Chartered Accountant and Portfolio Manager at UKNIAF, Adeola Adebisi; Electrical Engineer and Project Manager at UKNIAF, Aisha Mala Sheriff; Energy Policy Research Analyst at Nextier, Doose Iortyom reflect on their experiences and share insights on critical issues shaping the sector, including valuable advice they would offer to their younger selves.
As UKNIAF we learned several lessons helping to develop the National Integrated Resource Plan which will guide the future of Nigeria’s power sector.
The 2022 Constitutional Amendment expands the power of Nigeria’s 36 States to generate, transmit and distribute on-grid electricity. Before this amendment, State governments’ powers were mostly limited to off-grid electricity supply.
In this episode female executives in Nigeria’s Power sector examine Nigeria’s Electricity Act 2023 and its implications for the distribution sub-sector. With the repeal of the 2005 reform act, the new legislation grants states, private investors, and individuals the power to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity. This conversation explores what this means for the 11 distribution companies (DisCos) currently serving Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
UKNIAF worked on a project that trialled integrating a solar microgrid with Nigeria’s national grid. The aim was to develop a replicable model for future microgrid interconnections.

This “Toolkit for Establishing State Electricity Markets.” offers valuable insights and step-by-step strategies tailored to help stakeholders navigate the complexities of the Electricity Act 2023.
In this third and final instalment of a three-part series Stella Odiase, UKNIAF’s Cross Cutting Adviser and a Doctoral candidate at the Institute of Development Studies, Sussex University, reflects on a recent electricity customer interaction, where customer requests were quite straightforward.
In this second instalment of a three-part series Dr. Dalia Sakr, a UNFCCC accredited climate change expert, compares electricity and calorie consumption, pointing out that sometimes responsible behaviour takes discipline.
In this first of a three-part series Jumoke Delano, a multi-jurisdictional lawyer, and former Head of Regulatory Relations at the Abuja Electric Distribution Company, explores the interconnected roles of different players within the power value chain, and their need for cooperation and coordination.
Three Perspectives on Nigeria’s Electricity Tariff Review:
the Utilities, the Climate Change Expert, and the Customer
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.
What factors contribute to the myriad of challenges facing the Nigerian power grid?
Regional electricity markets promote inter-state electricity trade, encouraging power security and economic growth.
“WATTS with the Grid?” is a conversation with women who work in the power sector.
What do these women think about the current national conversation on tariff increases? How is the Service Based Tariff faring in terms of improvement in service and revenues? How does the price of electricity impact national commitments to a low-carbon transition?
Stella Odiase leads the conversation with Dalia Sakr, Wola Joseph-Condotti, Tosin Adefeko and Olajumoke Delano.
In 2021, Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan was created with COP26 support, prompting Nigeria’s net-zero commitment by 2060.
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 unveiling of the Electricity Act 2023 is a significant milestone in Nigeria’s journey towards a robust and sustainable power sector.

Stories of Change: UKNIAF’s support to enhance electricity agreements in the power sector.
UKNIAF worked with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet). As a result of this collaboration, TCN can now receive real time weather forecasts which enhances the generation and dispatch of hydropower.
This video explains who benefits from this new partnership and how it makes a difference.
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.
UKNIAF worked with the Federal Ministry of Power and the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission to scope a study to develop Nigeria’s first Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The IRP provides a framework to determine the resource mix for the country’s long-term electricity needs.
Assessing baseline knowledge on the development of an Integrated Resource Plan
NERC is now able to monitor DisCos SBT SLA compliance at all 11kV feeders. The solution also features a range of supporting compliance and data integrity controls.
With the recognition that an effective IRP must be participatory and engaging of all stakeholders, the IRP will need more than one policy change champion.
