The institutional arrangement of Niger electricity sector is depicted in figure 4. The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum is responsible for policy development and the Multisectoral Regulatory Authority is the independent regulator.
Broadening energy access is a central national development objective in Niger. At present, less than 25% of the population enjoys access to electricity, and the picture in rural areas is bleaker, at less than 5% electricity access. Generation of electricity through renewables has long been viewed as an important way to close this gap.
Despite this rich potential, access to energy is still a challenge for the authorities. Final energy consumption in Niger is estimated at 0.15 toe per capita, one of the lowest in the world. The weakness of this value is mainly due to limited access of Niger’s households to modern energy.
Energy access in Niger remains a criti-cal barrier to the country’s development. Modest improvements have been experi-enced in recent years. However, electricity access in Niger remains low at about 24% and almost all the population relies on the unsustainable use of traditional biomass (MP/AT-DC, 2011).
Policy makers face energy supply and cost challenges as they aim to deliver positive outcomes for their respec-tive sectors. The fractured responsibili-ties within Niger’s energy policy make the different government entities prone to turf battles. This indicates a lack of coordina-tion among the departments involved.
Niger needs a comprehensive energy policy that puts the needs and demands of rural communities centre stage and provides clear guidance on how to make progress. The policy should also be explicit that rural communities need a bottom-up strategy due to their low energy demand and scat-tered nature.
