Abstract
Nigeria's low electricity consumption (around 85 kWh per capita), provided mainly by National Nigerian Electric Power Authority Association's (NEPA's) unreliable system and infrastructure, poses a challenge to the government. NEPAs poor performance is one reason why the government decided to deregulate the industry which must be structured to give due weight to distributed generation. One of the factors in favour of distributed generation, especially in developing economies like Nigeria, is the need for secure electricity supplies for large industrial customers. NEPA has not offered reliable supplies, so distributed generation should bring the benefits of supply reliability and high power quality to industrial customers, complementing the activities of NEPA's electricity distribution service.
