Nigeria Renewable Energy Master Plan
The Nigeria Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) is a policy being implemented by Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Environment that aims to increase the contribution of renewable energy to account for 10% of Nigerian total energy consumption by 2025.[1] The Renewable Energy Masterplan for Nigeria was produced in 2006 with support from the UNDP.
Description
The Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) articulates Nigeria’s vision and sets out a road map for increasing the role of renewable energy in achieving sustainable development.[2] The policy primarily addresses Nigeria's need for increased electricity supply, improved grid reliability and security.[3]
