How much do we really know about energy in Nigeria?

Some things we hear about energy sound like facts, but are they?
We’re separating the myths from the facts and looking at what they mean for how energy systems are designed, delivered and used.

What energy myth have you heard before?

What does reliable power mean for a market?

It means businesses can keep moving, it means shop owners can focus on serving their customers instead of worrying about the next power outage. And it means a commercial hub like Sabon Gari can operate with a more reliable and sustainable source of energy.

Commissioned in 2018, the Sabon Gari Mini-Grid was initially developed with 1.09 MW of solar capacity. The project has since been upgraded and is currently operating at 1.6 MW, combining solar PV, battery storage, backup generation and smart metering.

With 6,000+ shops connected, the project continues to support businesses and economic activity across one of Northern Nigeria’s major commercial markets.

As Transaction Advisor to the Energizing Economies Initiative (EEI), Vista Advisory Partners was proud to support the structuring of the project and the facilitation of investment in off-grid energy solutions for MSMEs.

Reliable energy creates the conditions for businesses to operate, productivity to grow and markets to thrive.

As another week wraps up, here’s a quick reminder:

When it comes to projects, so many factors come into play… and even the most promising initiatives risk tipping over before they cross the finish line.

That’s where Vista Advisory Partners comes in.

We stay in the room through the entire lifecycle, taking on the heavy lifting so your initiatives stay grounded, bankable, and built to last.

You don’t have to carry the full weight of ex*****on alone 🤝

No Netflix series yet, but our story is definitely worth telling.

Beyond our advisory and consulting work, Vista has a dedicated Decision Intelligence & Data capability using data, analytics and intelligence to help organisations make better-informed decisions across infrastructure, energy and development.

At Vista IQ, we work with complex datasets, technical information and real-world challenges to generate insights that support strategy, investment and policy.

Our work also includes building centralised databases and real-time monitoring dashboards, applying geospatial and technical data to infrastructure and energy decisions, and supporting feasibility and site-selection studies for major projects, including a large-scale data centre in Lagos.

This is the side of Vista Advisory that many people may not have seen yet.

This is Vista IQ.

Data that goes beyond numbers, intelligence that supports decisions, insights that help move complex projects forward.

And this is only part of the story!

People are at the heart of everything we build at Vista Advisory Partners | Infrastructure & Ex*****on

Today, we are proud to announce the promotion of Olumayokun Mabunmi to Partner at Vista Advisory Partners! 🥂

Mayokun joined Vista Advisory Partners in 2013 as an Analyst, bringing an engineering background and a strong interest in energy and infrastructure. Over the years, he has grown with the firm, taking on bigger responsibilities across power, infrastructure, sustainability and energy transition.

His work has included the construction and installation of Nigeria’s first floating solar farm, the delivery of the 8MW DRUPS power system for the Lagos Blue Line, the design and implementation of 100km+ of medium-voltage power distribution networks, and energy studies covering 300+ rural communities and 78 SME clusters.

He has also contributed to major sector-wide initiatives, including Nigeria’s National Electrification Strategy and Implementation Plan, the Lagos State energy transition study, and the development of Nigeria’s Electric Mobility Roadmap with Sustainable Energy for All and the Federal Government.

Beyond the projects, Mayokun’s journey reflects something important about how we build at Vista: we develop talent, create opportunities for growth and give people room to take ownership of bigger challenges.

We are excited to see him take on this new role and look forward to all that lies ahead.

Congratulations, Mayokun! 🥂

Here are key findings from the 2024 Lagos Diesel/Petrol Genset Study, a collaborative initiative between SEforALL and the Lagos State Government.

Lagos households currently run 4.5 million fossil fuel generators, generating an estimated 8.8 GW of capacity and consuming roughly 9 billion litres of fuel annually. The price tag for keeping those home generators running? A staggering ₦1.43 trillion each year.

Across commercial sectors, businesses (MSMEs) in Lagos account for an estimated generator capacity of 10.4 GW. Across households, commercial entities, and markets, these generators release roughly 39 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) per year.

At Vista Advisory Partners, we view these figures as far beyond simple statistics. They point directly to a massive market opportunity for clean, reliable, and sustainable power alternatives across Nigeria.

Shifting away from costly fossil fuel dependency is no longer just an environmental vision, it is an economic priority.

Here are some interesting findings from the 2022 Lagos Diesel/Petrol Genset Study, a landmark collaborative initiative between SEforALL and the Lagos State Government.

Lagos households currently run 4.5 million fossil fuel generators, generating an estimated 4GW of capacity and burning through 9 billion litres of fuel every year. The price tag for keeping those generators running? A staggering ₦1.43 trillion annually.

When you combine that with the 61GW of estimated generator capacity powering local industries, the true scale of off grid fuel reliance in Lagos becomes clear.

At Vista Advisory Partners, we view these figures as far beyond simple statistics. They point directly to a massive market opportunity for clean, reliable, and sustainable power alternatives across Nigeria. Shifting away from costly fossil fuel dependency is no longer just an environmental vision, it is an economic priority.

What will it take to move Lagos closer to 24/7 power?

That was the question at the centre of the Lagos State Electricity Market Town Hall Meeting, chaired by His Excellency, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu with the Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, also in attendance.

The meeting brought together key players across the electricity ecosystem, including Lagos State, Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission (LASERC), Lagos Independent System Operator (LAISO), Lagos State Electricity Market Authority (LSEA), Lagos State Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources TRANSMISSION COMPANY OF NIG. Nigerian Independent System Operator Gas Aggregator Company Nigeria Ltd/Gte Eko Electricity Distribution DisCo Ikeja Electric Plc, International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Africa Finance Corporation, alongside other government, industry and private sector stakeholders.

The conversation reflected the scale of what Lagos is working towards. Building a reliable 24/7 power economy requires more than additional generation. It requires the infrastructure, market structures, investment and coordination needed to connect the different parts of the electricity value chain and make the system work more effectively.

Vista Advisory Founder, Habeeb Alebiosu, CEO of Decentralised Energy was part of the conversation, engaging with stakeholders across the power ecosystem on the opportunities and challenges shaping Lagos’ electricity market.

The direction is clear: building a stronger electricity market for Lagos will require stakeholders across the value chain to keep working together to unlock investment, strengthen infrastructure and deliver reliable power for the people and businesses that drive the state.

We look forward to being part of the work ahead.
