“…Ibitoye and Akinbami (1999) identify two major human factors causing climate change in Nigeria: first, increasing demand for, and heavy reliance upon, production of energy resources from less environmentally friendly fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal; and second, the persistent gas flares and other oil-and gasproducing activities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The situation may be exacerbated by the increasing size of the Nigerian population.…”

“…These include the Petroleum Drilling and Production Regulation, Gas Reinjection Regulation, and the Environmental and Impact Assessment Act. These policies largely focus on energy producing activities (as identified in Ibitoye and Akinbami, 1999) that are leading to environmental problems in Nigeria; limited attention has been paid to mitigating CO 2 emissions from energy consumption. Meanwhile, the relative share of aggregate CO 2 emissions from energy consumption is found to be very high, with an estimated average of 59.5%.…”

“…For instance, many existing commercial buildings in Hong Kong remain energy inefficient whilst BUILDING RESEARCH & INFORMATION (MAY-JUNE 2004) little is done to reduce running cost (Yik and Burnett, 1995;Yik and Lee, 2002). The situation appears to be similar elsewhere (Mojik, 1997;Ibitoye and Akinbami, 1999;Jaber and Probert, 2001). Where such a situation arises, an 'efficiency gap' is said to have existed (Woolf and Lutz, 1993).…”

Building energy performance contracting is a business strategy to assist building owners overcome the financial barriers for improving the energy performance of their buildings. In return for the investments made into the energy-saving measures, the energy service contractors would share with the building owners the energy cost saving. Although the contractual arrangement is meant to create a win-win situation, disappointments could arise due to mismatches between the expected and actual outcomes. From a micro-economics viewpoint, the key factors contributing to the failure of a building energy performance contract are reviewed. To solve the commonly encountered problems in building energy performance contracting, it is proposed the conventional performance contract is replaced with a partnership formed jointly by the building owner and the energy service contractor, with the latter assuming the role of the performance contractor. This would unite the goals of the two parties and cultivate genuine cooperation between them. The key features for this new contractual arrangement are described along with how this arrangement could resolve typical energy performance contracting problems.La contractualisation des performances e´nerge´tiques d'un bâ timent est une strate´gie commerciale qui vise à aider les proprie´taires de bâ timents à surmonter les obstacles financiers lorsqu'il s'agit d'ame´liorer les performances e´nerge´tiques de bâ timents. En retour pour les investissements consentis dans des mesures d'e´conomie d'e´nergie, les contractants des services e´nerge´tiques partageraient avec les proprie´taires des bâ timents les e´conomies re´alise´es sur le coû t de l'e´nergie. Bien que les dispositions contractuelles aient pour objectif de cre´er une situation satisfaisante pour toutes les parties, le manque de corre´lation entre les re´sultats attendus et les re´sultats re´els risque de de´cevoir. Se plaçant dans une perspective micro-e´conomique, cet article e´tudie les principaux facteurs qui contribuent à l'e´chec d'un contrat portant sur les performances e´nerge´tiques d'un bâ timent. Pour re´soudre les problè mes les plus courants en matiè re de contractualisation des performances e´nerge´tiques d'un bâ timent, on propose de remplacer le contrat de performances classique par un partenariat regroupant le propriétaire du bâ timent et le contractant des services e´nerge´tiques, ce dernier e´tant contractuellement responsable des performances. Les objectifs des deux parties seraient ainsi réunis et une ve´ritable coope´ration pourrait s'instaurer entre elles. L'auteur de´crit les principales caracte´ristiques de ces nouvelles mesures contractuelles et explique comment ces dispositions pourraient permettre de re´soudre les problè mes courants de contractualisation des performances e´nerge´tiques.

“…Between 1991 and 1992, about 7438 generating sets were imported into the country, installed and operated at high costs [7,12]. Direct cost of self-generated electricity in Nigeria is 2.42 [13] to 3.00 [1] times the cost of public supplied electricity from the national grid. The share of self-generated electricity to the total electricity generated in Nigeria is 52% compared to less than 1% in middle income African countries [1].…”

“…It is estimated that nearly 100% (97% to be precise) of firms operating in Nigeria own private electricity generating sets. The installed capacity of privately own electricity generating set was 1760MW in 1990, accounting for about 30% of grid capacity [7,13]. ADB [6] estimated that electricity induced indirect losses of firms accounted for 61%, followed by transportation (26%), bribery (11%), and robbery (2%) of their losses.…”

Abstract:Nigeria is blessed with diverse energy resources. The country had generated electricity from coal in the 1950s, but this was abandoned in the wake of the civil war (1969)(1970) and the focus changed to petroleum. Nigeria now generates her electricity mostly from gas thermal plants (64.6%). Electricity in Nigeria is poor, of low quality with frequent unplanned outages. Nigeria has about 8000MW installed electricity generation capacity but only 3800-4000 MW is actually operational. The government now wishes to diversify the electricity generation mix by encouraging private sector participation in the energy sector and targeted 30% electricity generation from coal. The study reviewed policies relating to coal power generation in Nigeria and the causes of previous failures in the sector. The study found that the electricity sector reforms and other policy changes have spurred investment of nearly $10 billion in the coal sector. Five projects of 4800MW generation capacity are under construction. Of this, two projects located in Enugu state of combined capacity of 1600MW could be ready by 2015. These two projects accounted for 40% of total installed capacity, or 20% operational electricity generation in Nigeria. The paper also presents the prospects and challenges of coal power generation in Nigeria.
