Lack of access to modern forms of energy continues to hamper socio-economic development in Nigeria, and about 94% and 39% of the Nigerian population do not have access to clean cooking equipment and electricity, respectively. The United Nations Sustainable Energy for All initiative and Sustainable Development Goal number seven seek to provide universal modern energy for all by 2030. However, the implications of these global goals on Nigeria’s energy system have not been well researched in the literature. In this study, we applied the Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning Systems model to analyse the impacts of different energy access scenarios by 2030 on household energy consumption, CO2 emissions and local air pollutant emissions. We also analysed different scenarios for biomass renewability in order to understand its impact on household net CO2 emissions. We found that achieving a 100% modern energy access by 2030 would reduce final energy demand by around 845 PJ, which is equivalent to a 52.4% reduction when compared to the baseline scenario. A 100% modern access would also significantly reduce local air pollutants, but increase CO2 emissions significantly by 16.7 MtCO2 compared to the baseline scenario. Our analysis shows that the benefits of modern energy access have been limited in Nigeria due to poor financing and low income levels of households. Therefore, we argue that for a 100% modern energy access in Nigeria by 2030, there is a need to explore local and foreign funding sources, and a serious need to couple energy access programs in the country with income-generating activities.

“…Model kemitraan publik-swasta yang berpihak pada masyarakat miskin adalah motor penggerak yang berguna untuk meningkatkan modal investasi. Lima faktor tampaknya diperlukan dalam kombinasi untuk program dan kemitraan untuk berhasil mempromosikan akses energi dan memberantas kemiskinan energi yaitu memilih teknologi yang tepat, mempromosikan partisipasi masyarakat, menekankan pemeliharaan dan layanan, menggabungkan layanan dengan pendapatan, dan membangun kapasitas lokal [44].…”

The economic development of a country depends on sustainable energy sources that meet basic human needs. Government policy on energy conservation is an effort to maintain the stability of energy security that affects the economic development of a country. Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid economic growth and development, combined with population growth and urbanization, as well as increased access to basic services. This study aimed to determine the seven key factors considered that shape energy in Southeast Asia. Based on the panel data model, it showed that energy demand in the ASEAN region greatly influences GDP per capita; demographics and urbanization; air quality, climate risk, and environmental degradation; energy accessibility, affordability, and security; investment and financial ; as well as energy policies, prices, and regulations.

“…Also, the link between the reforms and poverty reduction is complex and difficult to quantify. However, evidence suggests the presence of a correlation between access to electricity and economic development (Sovacool, 2013). Better access to electricity in rural Bangladesh has increased the economic welfare of the poor and helped reduce poverty.…”

More than two and a half decades have passed since the worldwide spread of electricity sector reforms including in the developing and transition countries. The reforms signified a major departure from the traditional publicly-owned vertically integrated production, transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity. Although the details of the design and extent of the reforms have varied, they set out to significantly rearrange the market structure, the involvement of the state, and regulation and oversight of the sector.
