The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Association-Alliance (REEEA-A) has asked Nigeria to prioritise energy security, renewable and energy efficiency amidst global challenges.
Amid rising cost of energy, especially the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, the Federal Government through the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) has said that renewable energy projects would be accelerated across the country.
The rising prices of fossil fuel across the board have created an opportunity for renewable energy in 2022 as over 187 gigawatts of all the newly commissioned renewable capacity in the year came cheaper than fossil fuel-fired electricity.
Nigeria, an African economic powerhouse, faces significant energy challenges and great possibilities. The country's impressive human and natural resources can be the basis for a growing and highly diversified energy sector, one increasingly able to meet its own needs.
