Nigeria's oil and gas industries are addressing energy reliability challenges following a recent national power grid collapse, which costs the country $29 billion annually. The government is exploring battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enhance power reliability and reduce reliance on diesel generators, while also aiming to increase the mining sector's GDP contribution. Despite a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2060, the oil and gas sector remains crucial to the economy, even as its GDP share has declined significantly.
