By 2030, renewable energy is expected to contribute about 20% share in the available
electricity mix
To achieve a 9% and 13% contribution of hydroelectricity (both large and small hydro) to the
nation’s electricity generation mix by 2015 and 2020 respectively
To achieve a 1% contribution of wind energy to the nation’s electricity generation mix by
2020
To achieve a 3% and 6% contribution of solar energy to the nation’s electricity generation
mix by 2020 and 2030 respectively
To achieve a 2% power generation capacity using biomass resource by 2020
Energy Efficiency
- By the end of 2015, efficient lighting will be used by 20% of the households, 40% by 2020
and almost 100% by 2030
- For high-energy consuming sectors (transport, power and industrial sectors), efficient energy
technologies will be progressively introduced as well as other demand side management
measures such as peak load management when possible. Compared with the current 2015
level, energy efficiency will increase by at least 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2030
- Achieve 10% biofuel blends by 2020 using locally produced renewable bio-fuel from
secondary biomass
The third pillar of Nigeria’s vision 20:2020 is to foster Sustainable Social & Economic
Development by: Establishing a competitive business environment characterized by sustained
macroeconomic stability; Developing sufficient and efficient infrastructure to support sustained
economic growth; Preserving the environment for sustainable socio-economic development.
To achieve a technology-driven renewable energy sector that harnesses the nation’s
resources to complement its fossil fuel consumption and guarantees energy security. It is expected
that the electricity supply industry will be private sector led with government providing an appropriate
legal and regulatory environment for private capital investment.
3. Management of Water Resources for Sustainable Development
Water resources is one of the key drivers of any nation’s economy for development. It plays a dual
role in the economy, both as infrastructure and as service commodity. The goods and services
provided by water resources play a significant role in achieving Nigeria’s Vision 20:2020, African
Vision on Water, Change Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
From the infrastructure view point, water is pivotal in Agriculture, marine Transport,
hydropower generation and sanitation. Nigeria’s socio-economy sector, including agriculture,
industry and sanitation rely heavily on water resources and related services. Improved access to
water services and efficient management of water resources contribute significantly to economic
growth and development. In the global focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), water
resources is under Goal 6 which ensures availability and sustainable management of water and
sanitation for all. Besides Goal 6, all other goals depend on efficient management of water resources
