Great contribution Sir. If your position on initialization is right, then the press release by international media platforms are wrong.

These two pieces specifically make mention of “a signing”;

1. http://energymixreport.com/nbet-12-firms-sign-ppas-975mw-solar-projects/

2. http://www.photon.info/en/news/pan-africa-solar-secures-ppa-75-mw-solar-project-nigeria

On licenses, I strongly believe that all developers who met HNM Power Fashola in May 2016 already have NERC licenses, and I could mention at least Nigeria Solar Capital Partners; a member of Obama’s Power Africa Initiative;

On a regulation for tenders currently on; that’s great, but I bet with all the bureaucracy involved in regulation development in the country, a great deal of time would be lost and thus new developments would be shifted till after 2019 again.

To achieve a tender process, an independent consultancy system just has to be set up; even South Africa did this to push forth the REIPPP and Zambia used it to secure the IFC Scaling Solar partnership. Regulations ruin needed “consistent speed”.

My position on International Organizations in the residential sector goes beyond what is currently obtainable in the country, whereby they operate on the pico and micro level. Let them move into the commercial support level;it’s on that level that their effect would be felt.

On tariff setting for RE; less effort should be placed on that, the market would determine the price in a tender process, best case is that a “benchmark” price be set that can be paid for.

In conclusion, using the argument that when the the sector needs to be arranged to support current lack of projects is not the best. The sector would never be arranged if we don’t do something radical. Unlike in the case of the liberalization of the power sector achieved in 2014 and was a flagship scheme in Africa, which needed a rigid thought process, Renewable energy deployment on utility scale is already obtainable in other countries in Africa, all that should be done is a process of “Adaptation” focusing Nigeria’s realities.
