1.0 BACKGROUND
Nigeria, with a population of over 140 million people, only about 40% of these people have
access to electricity, and a very large majority of these people reside in the urban areas. In places
where there is access to electricity, consumers suffer from frequent power outages which last for
several hours. The power currently generated in Nigeria is inadequate and unstable, forcing a
large portion of the industry, businesses and households to rely on diesel and petrol generators as
a primary or back-up source of electricity, which can be expensive and a source of noise and air
pollutions. The utility company is facing difficulties to keep up with electricity demand.
The Nigerian government has set a target to increase electricity generation to 10,000 MW by
2012, against an overall current demand estimated to be much higher than 10,000 MW.
Subsequently, many gas-powered stations have been commissioned to increase generation and
many more are expected to be commission to meet this target. Much of government’s focus is to
generate electricity using gas powered thermal stations, which is non-renewable source and will
result in the emission of GHGs. The poor power production and supply is further exacerbated by
high distribution losses due to inefficient distribution system.
It is against this background that in 2009, the Global Environment Facility (GEF), under the
GEF-4 Strategic Programme: Climate Change Strategic Programme 1 - Promoting Energy
Efficiency in Residential and Commercial Building approved a total grant of $3 million Dollars
for Nigeria to implement the project “Promoting Energy Efficiency in Residential and Public
Sector in Nigeria” (also referred to as GEF Energy Efficiency Project). The grant was approved
by the GEF Secretariat on the 24th April, 2009. The project is being implemented by the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Nigeria Country Office in collaboration with relevant
agencies of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The project preparatory phase was launched on the 14th July, 2009 with a workshop which
attracted various stakeholders from different parts of Nigeria. Through the efforts of a team of
consultants which was recruited by the UNDP Nigeria Country Office, the Project Document
was developed from July 2009 and was first submitted for review in October 2009. The Project
Document was eventually approved by the GEF Secretariat in February 2011. The final version
was signed by all implementing partners (UNDP, GEF and the FGN) in April 2011.
In accordance with GEF requirement and as stated in the Project Document (it was stipulated in
the Project Document that the inception workshop will hold within two months from inception of
the project), the inception workshop held on the 12th of May, 2011. The workshop attracted over
90 participants from government, NGOs, private sector, professional bodies, development
partners, academic and the media. The GEF Energy Efficiency Project (GEF EE Project) will be
implemented by an Energy Efficiency Unit (EEU) which is expected to be domiciled in the
Energy Commission of Nigeria. The EEU will be managed by a Project Coordinator and will be
supported by other staff.
The objectives of the inception workshop are to re-build commitment and momentum on the
GEF EE Project among stakeholders after a long period from the preparatory phase; establish the
7
Project Team and support structures; ensures that stakeholders have a clear understanding of
what the project seeks to achieve and; establish procedures for oversight, and for changes in
project activities, outputs, outcomes or objective.
The overall objective of the GEF EE Project is to improve the energy efficiency of a series of
end-use equipment (refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, lighting, electric motors and fans,
heating appliances etc) used in residential and public buildings (schools, hotels, offices) in
Nigeria through the introduction of appropriate energy efficiency policies and measures (such as
Standards and Labels) and demand-side management programs. Another objective of the project
will be to strengthen the regulatory and institutional framework, develop monitoring and
enforcement mechanisms, provide training to appliance and equipment professionals, and launch
a public outreach campaign to promote energy efficiency in Nigeria.
The activities to achieve these objectives are designed to enhancing the capacity of all relevant
stakeholders at the national level of the concept, nature and potential of energy efficiency;
develop policy and legal energy efficiency requirements of end-use appliances in Nigeria; train
relevant professionals and carry out public outreaches; and conduct pilot project where 1 million
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) will be distributed in residential and public buildings in
Nigeria. The project will assist the government of Nigeria to put in place comprehensive energy
efficiency policy and legislation. It will help to minimize the building of power stations, helping
to save money which will be invested in other sectors. This will consequently help in mitigating
the emission of greenhouse gases resulting from generating energy. It will also help to increase
Nigerian’s access to electricity.

2.0 PROJECT INCEPTION WORKSHOP: OPENING SESSION
The Inception Workshop (IW) for the GEF EE Project held on Thursday 12th May 2011 at the
UN Main Auditorium, UN House in Abuja. The opening session started about 10 am with the
introduction of dignitaries. Over 90 participants attended the meeting drawn from government,
NGOs, academic, private sector, development partners and the media. Among the stakeholders
present during the workshop include the representatives of the Federal Ministry of Environment
(FME), Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
(NERC), Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Economic Community of West African
States (ECOWAS), UNDP and Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP).
The UNDP Nigeria Deputy Country Director of Programmes, Janthomas Hiemstra delivered the
opening speech. In his remark, he acknowledged the presence of the FME, ECN, MAN and
ECOWAS in the meeting. He stated that the UNDP has been working closely with the FME on
projects to mitigate the impacts of climate change and in particular the Cross River State
government. Mr. Hiemstra spoke passionately on the essence of the current GEF EE Project,
saying it is not for just talking but action. He said that access to energy is top priority in the
President Goodluck Jonathans Administration. He called on the government not to focus only on
energy generation but should look at the area of saving and end-use management of energy
which the current EE project is addressing
Mr. Hiemstra said that the UN house is one of the biggest buildings in Abuja and that it is
amazing how much GHGs is emitted as a result of the energy consumed in the building. He said
it will be appropriate to work with the management of the UN House and other agencies of the
UN to make the building an example of energy efficient one that will become a reference point
for others to follow. Mr. Hiemstra thanked the participants for taking out time to attend the
inception workshop of the GEF EE Project.
The GEF Operational Focal Person, Mrs. O. B. Jaji was represented by Mr. Philip Bankole, a
Deputy Director in the FME. She thanked the UNDP, the GEF and all the people made the
Inception Workshop a reality. She said the project is coming at a time when the Nigerian State is
facing formidable crisis in the energy sector. Mrs. Jaji opined that total energy currently
generated in Nigeria is low compared to the demand and there is wastage at the level of the end-
user because of our behavior and the kind of appliances we use. She said that the project is
coming at a time when there is increased global concern on the impacts of energy generation on
the environment. According to her, energy generation accounts for about 60% of greenhouse gas
emission contributing significantly to global climate change.
9
Mrs. Jaji decried that in the past, government policies have focused so much on generation with
little or no attention given to end-use management of energy. She said that energy efficiency has
become one of the main drivers of sustainable development worldwide and energy efficiency can
play a pivotal role in economic development and environmental sustainability. Mrs. Jaji
explained that one of the goals of energy efficiency programmes is to exploit ways to reduce the
amount of energy used to produce a service and indirectly reducing the emission of greenhouse
gases and that energy efficiency has become one of the widely recognized strategies for climate
change mitigation.
The GEF Operational Focal Point is optimistic that this project will help to remove the barriers to
the development of energy efficiency in Nigeria, in particular in the residential and public
buildings. She expressed her appreciation to the GEF Trust Fund and the UNDP for putting this
project together.
The Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Prof. A. S. Sambo was represented
by Engr. Ekpenyong Okon, a Deputy Director in the Commission. Prof. Sambo said that the
ECN was established with the mandate to recommend to government new energy sources. He
said that since 1989, the Commission has recognized the relevance of energy efficiency and that
inappropriate energy management is likened to someone fetching water from the river with a
leaking bucket. He said that promoting energy efficiency is the business of everybody.
Prof. Sambo said that the Nigerian Government through the ECN signed an MOU with Cuban
Government to distribute 1 million CFLs in Nigeria. He said that under the agreement, the Cuban
Government donated 500,000 CFLs to Nigeria while the Nigerian Government purchased
10
another half a million CFLs. According to him, the project is already being implemented and
many Nigerians have testified to the impact of the project.
2.5 ECOWAS
Mr. Dabire Bayaornibe, the Director Energy, ECOWAS revealed that the energy efficiency
project on the ECOWAS platform has been extended to other countries in the West African
Region to include Benin Republic, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Mr. Bayaornibe said that a centre
called ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency was established to
provide energy access in the ECOWAS Region. He looked forward to the region having a
common market and a harmonized standard. Concluding, he said ECOWAS is happy to partner
with the GEF EE Project.
Benoit Lebot, the UNDP Climate Change Technical Adviser presented a paper titled
“Mainstreaming Climate Change Mitigation Strategy”. In his paper, Benoit revealed that there
will be no development without a sustainable access to energy. Mr. Lebot said that the whole
world is facing a growing energy crisis. In Nigeria, the demand for electricity is increasing
reflecting the dynamics of the national economy. He explained that man is emitting more carbon
than the earth can absorb and the excess of carbon emission and other related greenhouse gas
into the atmosphere is already changing the earth climate. The international community is now
seriously concerned about ongoing climate change and its impact on human & economic
development. Every economy is invited to follow a low carbon development. The ways to reduce
carbon emission are to change behavior, to promote energy efficiency, to harvest renewable
energy and stop deforestation. Mr. Lebot concluded that the current GEF EE Project is the first
that UNDP/GEF is implementing in the West African Region and that the project will help to
influence other countries in the ECOWAS region.

3.0 PROJECT CONCEPT, GOALS, INDICATORS AND TARGETS
This session started with the introduction of the Project Team, which was done by Muyiwa
Odele, the Team Leader of the Environment and Energy Unit of the UNDP Country Office in
Nigeria. He said the Project Team comprises of the following:
Muyiwa Odele gave the reason why the UNDP is implementing the current GEF EE Project. The
reasons include the following:
• The project is an element of UNDP Strategic approach – strengthening capacity for the
integration of energy and environmental concerns into development, planning, policies
and programmes
• Building partnership. Partnering with government to achieve the promises to it citizens
such as provision of better quality of life. The project also agrees with the NEEDS,
seven-point agenda and vision 20-20-20 initiatives of government.
• Energy is the lifeblood of the modern economy and it is a part of the broader intervention
aimed at addressing the impacts of climate change and provision of critical and solid
foundation for sustainable economic growth and transition to a low carbon pathway.
3.2 Promoting Energy Efficiency and Market Transformation in Nigeria – Benoit Lebot
Referring to a study that was conducted in 20 households in Europe, Benoit Lebot said huge
energy savings can be achieved by using energy efficient appliances. He said that from the study,
energy saving of 244 kWh/households was recorded for changing the inefficient incandescent to
energy savings lamps. Mr. Lebot called on the need to phase out inefficient incandescent lighting
in all applications. Speaking on ways to bring energy efficient equipment to the market, Lebot
said there is need to put in place energy efficiency policy and legislations; set minimum energy
performance standards (MEPS), introduce information labels; and create awareness to change
behavior. He said standard setting should follow a thorough analysis of the market, in particular
by generating baseline data to understand the level of efficiency and then using the data to shape
an energy label and set MEPS.
Mr. Lebot showed that labels have been used in developed countries of Europe, North America,
and OECD Pacific to shift the appliance market from less efficient one to more energy efficient
one. He said that labels have also been introduced in cars and houses in Europe to inform the
end-users of their level of efficiency. He explained several ways of setting MEPS, in particular,
a robust one based on a life cycle cost analysis – the life cycle cost is equal to the cost of
13
purchasing the appliance plus the running cost of the appliance. He gave the five steps to
transform the appliance market to include:
• Understanding the market
• Providing information and labeling
• Stimulating research and development
• Setting MEPS
• Initiating market pull with tools such as incentives, CDMs etc.
• That current policy in Nigeria does not favor the efficient use of energy. For instance,
many houses are not metered, thus the utility companies send estimated bill to customers.
Nigeria needs energy efficiency policy.
• To change behavior, much attention should be given to awareness creation in the project.
• The government should provide enough energy first before we talk about saving. There is
need for the UNDP and the developed countries to assist Nigeria in the area of
technology transfer.
• We should strengthen research and ensure the implementation of research work.
• How to ensure that the project benefits the poor Nigerians and address the issue of fake
labeling
Response: The little energy we are generating, we should use it more efficiently so that more
people can have access to energy. The UNDP is working to help the poor. However, focusing on
the poor does not mean that attention should not be given to the wealthier portion of the
population. On the issue of changing behavior, efforts may not start with the general public, but
with key stakeholders like manufacturers, importers & retailers of appliances. The current project
will help to provide the enabling environment for technology transfer to promote energy
efficiency.
3.4 Project Presentation: Goals, Targets, Indicators and Activities – Etiosa Uyigue
Uyigue said that the overall goal of the GEF EE Project is to improve the energy efficiency of a
series of end-use equipment (refrigeration appliances, air conditioners, lighting, electric motors
and fans, heating appliances etc) used in residential and public buildings. Speaking on the
components of the project, he said that there are four main components of the project: building
capacity of relevant stakeholders; developing EE legal requirements; training and public
outreach; and installation of 1 million CFLs. He highlighted the various outcomes of the project,
their indicators, targets and activities. Details are shown in Appendix 1.
14
3.5 Presentation of the First Year Work Plan – Jason Yapp
Jason Yapp said the GEF EE Project will help to create the enabling environment for the
promotion of energy efficiency. Yapp said energy efficiency is about movement from our old
ways of doing things to new ways of doing things. He said it is a life style that everybody should
imbibe, that is learning to walk the talk. He presented the first year work plan of the GEF EE
Project. According to him, the first year of the project will focus on eliciting base line data to
quantify energy efficiency benefits to influence political decisions, creating awareness among
policy makers on the benefits of energy efficiency and drafting energy efficiency laws and
degrees. Detailed first year work plan is available in Appendix 4.
Response: The media organizations are strategic partners of the project. Participants were
encouraged to study the project document.

4.0 PROJECT MANAGEMENT & ENERGY EFFICIENCY EXPERIENCES
4.1 Project Management: The Role of UNDP and EESC – Muyiwa Odele
On the management of the project, Muyiwa Odele said that an Energy Efficiency Steering
Committee (EESC) will be set up with oversight function and to guide project design and
implementation. The EESC shall be chaired by the GEF Operational Focal Point and Co-chaired
by the UNDP. Other members of the EESC are the Project Team, Energy Commission of Nigeria
(ECN), Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Presidential Task Force on Power,
Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON), National Centre for Energy Efficiency and
Conservation (NCEEC), Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Electrical Dealers
Association of Nigeria (EDAN), Consumer Protection Council (CPC) and Friends of the
Environment (FOE). The EESC will meet at least two times yearly.

Saliou Toure provided information on the GEF Project Cycle – Develop project idea form (PIF);
Request for Project Preparation Grant (PPG); Preparation of project document; and ways to
implement, monitor and evaluate a UNDP/GEF project. He said that the project implementing
unit reports directly to the UNDP Country Office and to the GEF Operational Focal Point. The
UNDP CO reports to the UNDP GEF Regional Coordinating Unit in Dakar, which in turn reports
to the UNDP GEF Headquarters in New York and the NY Office reports to the GEF Secretariat
16
in Washington DC. He said that the following components are needed in the project
implementation phase of GEF projects: EE Steering Committee (EESC); Annual Work Plan
(AWP); Inception Workshop Report (IWR); Quarterly Operational Reports (QOR); Annual
Project Report (APR); Project Implementation Reviews (PIRs); Midterm & final Evaluation; and
Risk Management Strategy (RMS).
Mr. Toure said that the role of the EESC is to guide project design and implementation. The
EESC will meet as and when necessary, but at least twice a year and it will be co-chaired by the
Ministry of Environment and the UNDP. He said the EESC will include senior officials from
other MDAs and stakeholders.
Mr. Okon of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) told participants that the ECOWAS
Commission, in recognition of the ECN’s mandates approached the Commission to assist in the
implementation of an MOU between the Ministry of Basic Industry (MINBAS) of the Republic
of Cuba and the ECOWAS for the development of energy efficiency programmes and, especially
the programmes for replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).
He said that under this project, the Cuban government donated 500,000 CFLs free to Nigeria,
while the Nigerian government bought equal amount from Cuba (making a total of 1 million
CFLs) and ECOWAS sponsored a Cuban expert, Engr. Raul Alfonso Camino who was in
Nigeria to assist in the project.
He reported that the ECN conducted a study to estimate quantity, type and energy rating of
incandescent lamps currently in use in Nigeria. The study was also to determine the ratio of pin
to screw lamp, the market potentials for CFLs in particular and EE in general. He said that the
study was conduct as a tool to convince the policy makers that there is huge demand for CFLs
and to sensitize end-users about the project. Okon revealed that in the Nigeria/Cuba/ECOWAS
project, 519,354 CFLs have been installed in estates, hotels, military cantonment, government
buildings and universities, and many people have testified of their energy and income saving
potentials.
He spoke on the challenges of the project to include information barriers, poor billing systems by
the utilities, access to premises, power surge and fluctuations, the CFLs design and the disposal
of replaced incandescent lamps and damaged CFLs. He recommended that there is need to put in
place policy to bring down the price of CFLs and call on the need to conduct a survey that will
help design good CFL programme. He also advocated the need for consumers’ education in the
implementation of the CFL programme. According to him, voltage stability is a key
characteristic to the success of the programme.
17
Schneider Electric – Marcel Hochet
The Country President of Schneider Electric, Mr. Marcel Hochet showed that the International
Energy Agency revealed that electricity demand will increase by a factor of times two by 2030.
Mr. Hochet showed that Schneider Electric is helping people to make the most use of their
energy. He presented the four steps that will help reduce electricity cost:
Mr. Hochet presented Schneider In-Diya LED lamp which can provide 8 hour backup during
power outage and the Villasol micro of-grid photo voltaic facility.
The representative of the Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP), Mr. Chidi Ike revealed that
the PTFP has identified the energy gap in the country and that the Task Force is passionate about
energy efficiency. He said the Task Force intends to partner with other agencies like the ECN in
other not to duplicate functions. According to him, the government is committed to overhauling
the power sector. Mr. Ike said that energy saving leads to capacity release and that it very logical
for Nigerians to save the energy generated. He concluded that all UNDP projects that need
government support will certainly get it.
The GE representative said that GE technology addresses three levels of efficiency: optical
efficiency, energy efficiency and systems based on new technology. He presented various
research work carried to show that by replacing incandescent lighting, much energy can be
saved.

4.4 Question & Comments
This session closed with vote of thanks given by the UNDP Deputy Country Director
(Programmes), Janthomas Hiemstra.

5.0 CHANGES TO PROJECT DOCUMENT
Since the inception of the preparatory phase of this project in July 14th 2009, the condition under
which the projects were developed still holds true in several ways. The barriers that the projects
seek to overcome are also still very much relevant, as well as the project strategy to overcome
these barriers. More also, there is no identified change in circumstance that may pose any danger
to achieving the objectives of the project. However, stakeholders during the inception meeting
saw the need to make some changes to the project document to further position the project to
achieve its objectives.
PTFP Membership of the EESC: Stakeholder identified the need to include the Presidential
Task Force on Power (PTFP) as member of the EESC. The PTFP is the implementing arm of the
Presidential Action Committee on Power (PACP). The PACP is chaired by the President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, and having the Vice President as a member of the Committee. It is
perceived that with the present of PTFP in the EESC, some aspects of the project component
(policy and legislation) may get speedy attention.
Moreover, the energy efficiency sub-committee of PTFP developed a proposal to reduce energy
losses at the upstream session of the electricity grid by standardizing grid cables and feeders to
reduce transmission losses. While the GEF EE Project is addressing energy saving at the level of
the end-user, stakeholders proposed the need to integrate the two documents to complement the
objectives of both documents. The Project Team and the PTFP Sub-committee on EE are
expected to meet and discuss the possibility of integrating the two documents. The PTFP is also
expected to assist the Project Team with information from the countries utility companies.
Friend of the Environment Membership of the EESC: The approved project document stated
that Heinrich Boll Foundation (HBF) should be a member of the EESC. Stakeholders frowned at
the presence of HBF as member of the EESC representing the civil society group. HBF is a
German organization and stakeholders proposed that a Nigerian NGO should represent the civil
society group in the EESC. Subsequently, the membership of HBF in the EESC was replaced
with a Nigerian NGO, Friends of the Environment (FOTE).
UNDP Co-chair the EESC: Stakeholders proposed that the EESC should meet at least two times
a year against the three times a year stated on the project document. The approved project
document also stated that the EESC will be chaired by the GEF Operational Focal Point in the
FME. During the inception meetings, stakeholders proposed that the EESC should be co-chaired
by the UNDP. This is expected to ensure that the EESC can meet up of with the obligation of
meeting at least two times a year. The first EESC meeting was scheduled for the month of June
2011.
20
Distribution of CFLs: In the approved project document, it was stated that the CFLs that will be
distributed under component 4 of the project will be carried out in Lagos and Delta State.
Stakeholders have proposed that the distribution should be done across the six geopolitical zones
of Nigeria. This will give further visibility to the impacts of the project.
21
6.0 MEETING WITH SOME KEY STAKEHOLDERS
Present: Janthomas Hiemstra, Benoit Lebot, Saliou Toure, Muyiwa Odele, Jason Yapp & Etiosa
Uyigue
The meeting held at the UN House to brief the UNDP Deputy Country Director (Programmes)
Janthomas Hiemstra on the objective of the Mission, the concept and objectives of the project
and to introduce the Project Team to him.
Meeting with GEF Operational Focal Point & Director General of ECN

Yapp & Etiosa Uyigue
Mrs. Halima Mohammed represented the GEF Operational Focal Point, Mrs. O. B. Jaji while
Mr. Okon Ekpenyong represented the Director General of Energy Commission of Nigeria, Prof.
A. S. Sambo. The objective of the meeting was to define roles and responsibilities of the key
implementing partners – the Federal Ministry of Environment and the Energy Commission of
Nigeria in the project. The key issue agreed upon in the meeting is that the implementing unit
will be domiciled at the ECN while the FME will be chair of the EESC and give oversight
function.
Present: Mrs. Ade Mamonyane Lekoetje, Janthomas Hiemstra, Benoit Lebot, Saliou Toure,
Muyiwa Odele, Jason Yapp & Etiosa Uyigue
The meeting held at the UN House to brief the Country Director, Mrs. Ade Mamonyane Lekoetje
on the concept and objectives of the GEF EE Project and also to introduce the Project Team to
her. Speaking on behalf of the Team, Mr. Benoit Lebot said that the GEF EE Project will help to
22
which will bring about reduction in electricity demand and minimized GHGs emission. He said
the project will last for four years. Key issues that emanated from the meeting are:
• The need for reform in the Nigerian systems to mainstream energy efficiency in all
sectors and advocate for energy efficiency appliances
• The need for the project to link up with the Institute of Technology and the Ministry of
Trade
• Position the project to facilitate the potential to develop CDM projects
• Make the UN House energy efficiency compliance so that it will become a reference for
other public buildings to emulate
Present: Prof. Bart Nnaji (PTFP), Chidi Ike (PTFP), Thelma Osunbor (PTFP), Benoit Lebot,
Saliou Toure, Muyiwa Odele, Jason Yapp & Etiosa Uyigue
The PTFP is chaired by Prof. Bart Nnaji, who is also the Special Adviser to the President on
Power. The Project Team visited the PTFP to brief them on the concept of the GEF EE Project
and to explore possible areas of synergy to promote energy efficiency in Nigeria. Key issues that
emanated from the meeting are as follows:
• The PTFP is developing a roadmap to improve the energy efficiency along transmission
lines. This is being done by standardizing the transmission lines to reduce energy loses. A
sub-committee within the PTFP has been established to develop and implement this
roadmap. The sub-committee comprises of representative of the Ministry of Power, ECN,
SON, NERC and PTFP.
• The Task Force is promoting LED in their energy efficiency programme and has easy
access to PHCN data.
• Collection of baseline data before and after standardization of feeders and cable along
transmission lines to access level of efficiency.
• Potential synergy exists between UNDP GEF EE Project and that of the PTFP and the
need to work together and show case quick and feasible results was identified
• Establishment of a super structure comprising of PTFP and UNDP Management for
broader collaboration and hosting of the UNDP GEF EEU by the Taskforce; in other to
strengthen collaboration and ensure sustainability of the intervention.
• Share UNDP GEF EE project document and related work undertaken in Brazil with the
PTFP
23
• Share PTFP roadmap on Energy efficiency and harmonization of the two documents for a
comprehensive intervention
• EESC governance structure of the GEF EE Project to be adjusted to include the PTFP
sub-committee working on energy efficiency
Meeting with the DG, National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement
Agency (NESREA)
Present: Dr. Mrs. Ngeri S. Benebo, Sam Akpabio, Jason Yapp, Etiosa Uyigue
NESREA is charged with the responsibility of enforcing all environmental laws, guidelines,
policies, standards and regulations in Nigeria. Also, it has the responsibility to enforce
compliance with provisions of international agreements, protocols, conventions and treaties on
the environment. The vision of the Agency is to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment for
all Nigerians, while the mission is to inspire personal and collective responsibility in building an
environmentally conscious society for the achievement of sustainable development in Nigeria.
The Project Team visited the Director General of NESREA to explore the possibility of placing
the proposed EE Legislation under the NESREA Act. In the NESREA Act, the Minster of
Environment is empowered to make regulations to enforce environmental standards without
passing through the National Assembly. The Project Team is aware that legislative processes in
Nigeria could span several years and the risk exists that the approval of the proposed EE
legislation by the National Assembly may outlive the project duration. The key issues from the
meeting are:
• NESREA has expressed willingness to work with Project Team to develop EE regulation
• It will take NESREA about 5-6 months to complete a single regulation – desk work,
technical review and input from consultants.
• The cost of developing the EE regulation will be borne by the GEF EE Project
• UNDP to write formally to NESREA requesting NESREA to develop EE regulation
Present: Prof. A. S. Sambo, Prof. E. J. Bala, Engr. Okon Ekpenyong, Jason Yapp & Etiosa
Uyigue
24
The key issues that emanated from the meeting with the Director General (DG) of ECN and
other top officers of the Commission are as follows:
1. The DG is very happy that GEF EE Project is timely and that the project has at last started and
he will provide full support to the project.
2. The DG was on the opinion that separate energy efficiency legislation be done instead of
hiding the EE legislation under the NESREA Law
3. The DG provided an elegant office space for the project with elegant furniture. The DG
assigned an officer to take the Project Team to see the office space.
Present: Alexandre Vial, Amadou Hott, Okon Ekpenyong, Prof. Wole Adegbero, Jason Yapp &
Etiosa Uyigue
Alexandria Vial, the CEO of ENERCAP said that his company is involved in carrying out study
around energy efficiency and involved in green financing. ENERCAP is also involved in project
development, technical training and education support. Some of their projects on renewable
energy involve the use of solar cluster and photo voltaic application. ENERCAP has launched a
project called Sun Lighting Africa where they will distribute solar lamps to replace kerosene
lighting. In their ECO Profitable Lighting Project, ENERCAP, working with Philip Lighting
have designed CFLs to handle the fluctuating voltage in Nigeria. This is to be tested. The
Mercury content of the lamp is low (0.2mg compared to the conventional CFL of 0.5mg as
approved in Europe). The lumen/watt is also about the highest in the market. ENERCAP is
planning to develop a programmatic CDM project where they will distribute 20 million CFLs in
Nigeria. ENERCAP is looking to sign an MOU with the government of Nigeria. Mr. Vial said
that the ENERCAP Team is in Nigeria to meet with various stakeholders in respect of the
planned CDM project. Key issues from the meeting include:
1. The GEF EE Project will help create the enabling environment for the ENERCAP Project
especially in the area of preparing stakeholders to understand the importance and benefits of
using CFLs instead of the incandescent lighting
Meeting with the Prof. Bart Nnaji, Chairman, Presidential Task Force on Power
25
Present: Prof. Nnaji, Chidi Ike, Jason Yapp and Etiosa Uyigue
1. After explaining the timely potential to complement the GEF EE metering study with the
proposal developed by PTFP, Prof Nnaji has suggested harmonizing the two proposals for
collecting the baseline data to quantify the benefits of CFL transformation.
2. PTFP can help to push EE legislation for quick passage through the National Assembly
3. Proposed future meeting of the Chairman of the PTFP with UNDP Resident Representative.
