BusinessDay Energy Conference 2026 Interviews
The Nigerian National Grid is no longer your only option. With the 2023 Electricity Act in full swing, the power to generate, transmit, and distribute energy has moved from the center to your doorstep, but are we ready for the 500MW revolution?
In this exclusive coverage from the Energy Conference, we sit down with the industry’s biggest movers from Simba Group, Iron Capital, TetraCore, and state representatives to bridge the gap between policy and reality. We dive deep into why decentralization is the “holy grail” for Nigeria’s industrialization and what bottlenecks (Tariffs, Gas, and Corruption) are still standing in the way.
