(About NESE 2026)

Not a Conference. A Deal Room

The Nigeria Electrification Summit 2026 is the premier convening platform for Nigeria’s electricity transition, designed to turn conversations into commitments and introductions into mandates.

(NEW FOR 2026)

Nigeria's Power Sector Has Changed Fundamentally

The Electricity Act 2023 did something no previous reform managed: it genuinely devolved electricity regulation to the states. For the first time, each of Nigeria’s 36 states can generate, distribute, regulate, and price electricity independently. Eighteen have already passed their own electricity laws. Three are running fully independent markets.

This is not a future event. It is happening right now, and the organizations that position themselves in the first wave of these state markets will define who controls Nigerian energy for the next generation.
 
NESE 2026 is the room where that positioning happens. It is where the state governments that control the frameworks meet the investors who control the capital, the developers who control the execution, and the advisers who know how to structure the transactions between them.

Mission

Galvanize multi-sectoral resources across finance, law, government, technology, and industry to advance Nigeria’s Electricity Supply Industry toward national sufficiency and universal access.

Vision

An energy-sufficient Nigeria with universal electricity access, powered by a transparent, competitive, and investable market, driven by 36 active state markets working in parallel.

Convener

Pentagon Partners LP is Nigeria’s leading legal practice for energy transactions, regulatory compliance, and investment structuring.
