Nigeria Renewable Energy Master Plan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nigeria Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) is a policy being implemented by Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Environment that aims to increase the contribution of renewable energy to account for 10% of Nigerian total energy consumption by 2025.[1] The Renewable Energy Masterplan for Nigeria was produced in 2006 with support from the UNDP.
