Job description
Nigeria is the largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa, but power sector limitations are constraining further economic development. Being endowed with large oil, gas, hydro and solar resources, the government has the potential to generate more than 12,500 MW of electric power from existing plants, but on most days it is only able to generate around 4,000 MW due to the unavailability of gas, breakdowns, water shortage and grid constraints that result in frequent electricity outages. The government has therefore prioritized energy generation, transmission and consumption efficiency as key actions in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), as there is a need to formulate and implement energy efficiency programs in various sectors to reduce power shortage and also increase the competitiveness of the industrial sector by reducing energy intensity per unit product.
The objective is to develop a harmonized framework of regulations that instigate adoption and implementation of energy efficient technologies and practices in the industrial, commercial and transport sectors. The technical assistance will also support the development of an institutional structure to monitor and report on activities undertaken toward compliance with the regulations.
