Nigeria unveils roadmap to 20 gigawatt renewable energy market

Nigeria has unveiled a comprehensive roadmap to develop a 20 gigawatt renewable energy market by 2050. The roadmap, developed in collaboration with the Energy Commission of Nigeria and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), aims to capitalize on the country's abundant renewable energy resources to meet growing energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The plan envisions a significant increase in renewable energy deployment, with solar and wind power expected to play a key role. The roadmap also highlights the need for policy and regulatory reforms to support the transition to a low-carbon economy and ensure a sustainable energy future for Nigeria.
