In the end of 2016 Nigeria adopted the Mini-Grid Policy in order to regulate a sector of mini-grids and to create enabling environment for further investments in order to speed up electrification process.

The mini-grids are defined as electricity supply systems with its own power generation capacity between 0 kW and 1 MW size supplying power to more than one customer. The mini-grids can be either isolated (standalone) or interconnected (connected to the network).

Isolated mini-grids up to 100 kW can either apply for a mini-grid permit or register with NERC in order to be able to operate. Therefore, receiving permit is not obligatory. For projects between 100 kW and 1 MW size projects must apply and obtain permit from the NERC.

The interconnected systems must apply and obtain the permit with the NERC and to execute a tripartite contract with the community and the Distribution Licensee (DisCo).

In case of the national grid arrival to the area of the mini-grid operation the project owner has two possibilities: 1) either turn its mini-grid from isolated to an interconnected in the nature or 2) transfer all project assets to the national grid operator in return for a financial compensation. In the case asset transfer the financial compensation must be equivalent to the remaining depreciated value of the assets additionally increased by an equivalent of all the revenues gained over 12 months preceding the transfer.

The policy is structured in order to ease administrative burden on mini-grid developers and to shield the investors from the depreciating value of their assets in case of the national grid arrival.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Turning Into The Energy Trade of the Century

You might think that Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, is betting it all on AI, but he is not. He is betting on the $5+ trillion in infrastructure required to run it, and that’s where big capital is flowing now. And he’s betting on Bitzero (NASDAQ: AIBZ) to be one of the first to break AI’s biggest chokepoint: power. Bitzero was looking further ahead while most of the rest of the market was narrowly focused on AI software and semiconductors. As a result, on May 5th, Bitzero…

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a decade. Not only this, but Chinese refiners were…

The World's Biggest Energy Bet Is No Longer on Fossil Fuels

For years, critics of the energy transition have made essentially the same argument. Renewable energy was supposedly too expensive, too dependent on subsidies, too intermittent, and too vulnerable to survive a serious energy security crisis. Sooner or later, they argued, governments and investors would return to the comfort of oil, gas, and coal. The latest figures from the International Energy Agency suggest the opposite is happening. According to the IEA's newly released World Energy Investment 2026 report, global investment in clean energy has…

The World Is Racing to Develop New Nuclear Fuels

In the age of the nuclear renaissance, several countries are strategising to significantly increase their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades, as part of efforts to diversify their energy mix and boost long-term energy security. However, securing fuel to power operations has been complicated, particularly following the introduction of sanctions on Russian energy products. Now, alternative uranium fuels offer promise for the nuclear energy industry. Nuclear fission, used in all existing nuclear power plants, is the process in which an…

China Eyes a Major Opportunity in Post-War Iran

Beijing is positioning itself to lead the post-war reconstruction effort in Tehran - a move analysts suggest could secure China long-term access to critical Iranian oil reserves. The diplomatic groundwork was laid during a recent meeting in New Delhi between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to Nikkei Asia. The talks underscore China's broader strategy to expand its economic and diplomatic footprint in the Middle East amid the vacuum left in the wake of one failed US…
