World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported2m ago
Nigeria's House of Representatives has advanced legislation to establish a National Authority for Renewable Energy (NARE) by passing the Electricity Act (Amendment) Bill, 2025, for a second reading. Sponsored by Representative Afam Victor Ogene, the bill moves the legislative process forward for further consideration in Abuja.
The proposed legislation seeks to restructure the oversight of the renewable energy sector by transferring existing functions from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, the Rural Electrification Agency, and the Rural Electrification Fund directly to the newly proposed authority.
