6 FAQs about [The first energy storage grid-connected project in Lagos Nigeria]

Does installing solar-battery systems reduce reliance on backup generators in Lagos?

Conclusions We find that installing solar-battery systems reduces the reliance on backup generators in Lagos's households with poor grid reliability. In turn, the addition of the solar-batter systems reduces fuel consumption, which is expensive and polluting when burnt.

How much electricity is generated by backup generators in Nigeria?

Annual electricity generated from backup generators is estimated to be 7–20 Terawatt-hours of electricity annually ( Farquharson et al., 2018a; IFC, 2019 ), which is between 20 and 60 % of total on-grid electricity generation in 2015. Generator ownership among Nigerian households is estimated to be 11 million in 2018 ( A2EI, 2019 ).

How long does a grid service last in Nigeria?

Based on these data, we assume a baseline grid service duration and baseline grid outage duration of 4 h, which correspond to a base grid availability of 50 %. We assumed an annual grid improvement factor (ω) of 0.1 %/year to account for the historically slow grid improvements in Nigeria.

How much CO2 does a backup generator produce in Nigeria?

Backup generators in Nigeria account for 7.2 million metric tons of CO 2 emissions, 8.8 thousand metric tons of SO x emissions, 14 thousand metric tons of PM 2.5 emissions, and 190 thousand metric tons of NO x emissions annually ( Farquharson et al., 2018a ).

How many hours a day are generators available in Nigeria?

Studies show that urban Nigerian households have their backup generators available for 6 h per day (3.1 h are available between 6PM and 10PM) despite receiving grid service for only 10–12 h daily ( Akin and O, 2017; Babajide and Brito, 2021; Oseni, 2016 ).

How much fuel do Nigerians use a year?

Nigerians reportedly consume 10 billion liters of diesel and gasoline fuel annually and spend between US$1.6 - US$17 billion annually on backup generation (“Diesel Power Gener.,” 2014; Farquharson et al., 2018a; IFC, 2019; Ley et al., 2014 ).
