2. NESP Overview
•
NESP is a technical cooperation programme supporting partner
institutions mainly via the provision of expertise (short and long
term experts)
•
NESP is implemented by the German Agency for International
Cooperation (GIZ) and funded by the German Government;
additional funding is expected from the European Union
•
Nigerian partner institutions: FMP, NERC, REA, NAPTIN, SON, etc.
•
Aim: The conditions for the application of and investments in
renewable energy and energy efficiency have been improved.
•
Duration: 03/2013 – 02/2018
•
Funding: 9 Mio EUR (German Government) + 15.5 Mio EUR (to be
expected from European Union)

4. Component 1: Policy Reform and Renewable Energy
Objective
The policy, legal and regulatory framework for renewable energy
(RE), energy efficiency (EE) and rural electrification (RrE) is in place
and the conditions for investments in grid-connected RE have
improved.
Strategic actions:
• Facilitation of a harmonized policy framework and a coherent
institutional set-up for RE, EE and RrE at national level
• Support the successful implementation of the sector reform in selected
areas (e.g. restructuring of the FMP, integrated resource plan, etc.)
• Improve the legal and regulatory framework for on-grid RE (RE
Policy, RE support mechanisms, grid integration of RE, etc.)

5. Component 2: Energy Efficiency
Objective
The framework conditions for energy efficiency (EE) are improved
and concrete measures generate energy savings.
Strategic actions:
• Support the preparation of a national energy efficiency policy and
subsequent measures to implement the policy (e.g. EE action
plan, incentive mechanisms for EE in buildings and industry, etc.)
• Establish 2 further standards for energy efficiency incl. suitable
enforcement mechanisms
• Implement 2 pilot projects demonstrating the technical and economic
viability of energy efficiency in buildings and industry.

6. Component 3: Rural Electrification
Objective
Capacities, processes and framework conditions for renewable
energy based rural electrification (RrE) are improved.
Strategic actions:
• Improve framework conditions for RrE at the national level (RrE
policy, promotion mechanisms, business models, etc.)
• Support 5 States in drawing up Rural Electrification Plans for a
coordinated large scale roll-out of off-grid electrification projects
• Implement 10 pilot projects in the selected States demonstrating the
technical, economic and social viability of renewable energy based
electrification.

7. Component 4: Capacity Development
Objective
The quality of the trainings offered by NAPTIN and other training
institutions for the energy sector has improved and their customer
oriented services are marketed at commercial level.
Strategic actions:
• Support the transition of NAPTIN to a revenue generating training
service provider through marketing, quality assurance and business
and organisational development
• Strengthen capacities of NAPTIN and other training institutions
especially in the areas of renewable energy, energy efficiency and
rural electrification
• Develop job profiles and curricula for technical and managerial
courses in RE, EE and RrE (incl. support to their implementation)
