About this dataset

This dataset brings together headline figures from Nigeria's key national energy policy documents, including the SE4ALL Rapid Assessment and Gap Analysis, the SEforAll Investment Prospectus, and the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Action Plans (2015–2030).

For business owners, the numbers frame the size of the opportunity: around 2013, only 40% of Nigeria's 168 million people had electricity access, more than 15 million households were without power, average consumption was just 150 kWh per person, and 67% of the population relied on biomass as their primary energy source. These gaps are directly relevant if you are considering off-grid power, solar products, clean cooking solutions or energy services.

A second tab summarises Nigeria's conventional energy position: the 10th largest crude oil reserves and 7th largest natural gas reserves in the world (187 tcf, with growth potential to 600 tcf), and an oil sector accounting for 95% of export earnings. A sources tab documents each underlying publication, its publisher, publication date and accessibility, so you can trace and verify every figure.

What's inside

  • Quantifies the electricity access gap: 40% access rate and 15+ million unpowered households (~2013) — a market-sizing starting point for off-grid and energy product businesses
  • Shows heavy biomass dependence (67% of the population), pointing to demand for alternative cooking and heating solutions
  • Benchmarks Nigeria's resource base: 10th largest oil reserves and 7th largest gas reserves globally, with 187 tcf of gas and 600 tcf growth potential
  • Notes the oil sector's 95% share of export earnings, useful context for assessing diversification and policy risk
  • Fully sourced: each figure is traceable to public documents such as the SE4ALL RAGA, SEforAll Investment Prospectus, NEEAP and NREAP 2015–2030
