Negotiating Brexit Positive outcomes for the UK on energy and climate

July 12, 2017

With Brexit, the UK’s future relationship with the EU is unclear. The outcome of the 2017 general election has widened the scope of possibilities, but businesses are calling for clarity while they put investment decisions on hold.1 In the areas of energy and climate policy, the EU’s strategy has been clear, to have a European energy union, establishing greater linkages with countries outside its borders to ensure “secure, affordable and climate-friendly energy.” The UK has actively participated in these efforts, endorsing greater market liberalization of energy, more interconnection and a strengthening of the internal energy market.

NIGERIA LEADING AFRICA TO NET ZERO

whitePaper | October 28, 2022

BY 2030 Nigeria reaches its 30-30-30 target, which means 30 GW of grid-connected capacity by 2030 of which 30% comes from renewables. The amount of unserved energy drops significantly in the later part of the decade, which means that a much larger portion of the population now has access to electricity. A lot of flexibility has been added to the power system thanks to ICE technology. The system is now ready to accommodate the massive renewable energy deployment planned in the 2031-2040 decade. Our model reveals that reaching the 30-30-30 target in the most cost-effective way will require $18.7 Billion of investment.
