Technical requirements: The Nigeria Energy Support Programme (NESP) is co-funded by the European Union and the German Government — BMZ — and implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Power (FMP). It aims at enabling and fostering investments in the fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
More generally, NESP supports activities to reach selected SDGs in Nigeria, particularly SDG 7 on increasing energy access, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and SDG 13 on Climate Change as well as the Paris Agreement.
During NESP I (2013-2017), the Programme, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv) and Niger State Government launched the Clean Cooking Intervention which aimed to provide 100 rice parboiling groups with access to improved institutional cookstoves.
During NESP II (2017-2020), the Programme, in collaboration with the FMEnv, launched a scheme called Nigerian Institutional Clean Cookstove Acceleration Scheme (NICCAS). The objective of the NICCAS is to facilitate the development of a viable/bankable business model for institutional clean cookstoves in conjunction with the private sector.
NESP II was launched in 2017 and was initially scheduled to last until the end of 2020. However, it has now been extended until the end of 2022.
The NESP II Extension will aim to support dissemination of 5 000 clean cookstoves, notably LPG-based clean cookstoves, for productive use of energy (PUE) as well as for household use, thereby resulting in, at least, 3 000 tCO2e of savings per annum by November 2022.
