Welcome to the Nigerian Small-Hydro and Bio-Energy Investment Forum (NSBIEF) 2025
Nigeria's energy sector stands at a pivotal juncture, with an estimated 85 million people lacking access to electricity, representing the largest energy deficit in sub-Saharan Africa. The country possesses over 3,500 MW of untapped small-hydro potential and a bio-energy market estimated at $5 billion in investment opportunities. Research indicates that small-hydro can contribute up to 15% of Nigeria’s renewable energy mix by 2035, while bio-energy could provide sustainable solutions for over 20 million households currently relying on traditional biomass. These figures underscore the strategic importance of unlocking Nigeria’s renewable energy market to bridge the energy access gap, accelerate industrialization, and position the country as a leader in Africa’s energy transition.
The Nigerian Small-Hydro and Bio-Energy Investment Forum (NSBIEF) 2025 is a high-impact platform designed to catalyze investment, foster public-private partnerships, and promote policy reforms that will drive the sustainable deployment of small-hydro and bio-energy solutions. With a projected $2 billion in targeted investment commitments and trade deals, the forum aims to facilitate bankable projects, advance Nigeria's clean energy transition, and establish a roadmap for achieving 30% renewable energy penetration by 2030.
