The Energy Industry in Nigeria: Challenges & Opportunities

Event Overview

Registrants set the agenda for this webinar, submitting their questions for a panel of operators, a regulator and advisers before the session, with further questions taken from the live audience.

The session was organised around three themes:

  • Oil, gas and the transition. Domestic gas supply and pricing, gas-to-power, indigenous operators after the IOC divestments, and new energy strategy.
  • Power: regulation, distribution, metering and projects. The Electricity Act 2023, the handover to state regulators, loss reduction, financing the metering gap, and bankable power projects.
  • Tax, fiscal terms and capital. The first year of the Nigeria Tax Act, PIA fiscal terms, enforcement and e-invoicing, and where capital is available.

The conversation continues at Energy in Africa 2026, our five-day executive workshop in Nairobi from 30 November to 4 December 2026. See the programme and register.
