EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PROGRAM OVERVIEW Deloitte Consulting LLP was awarded the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Power Africa Nigeria Power Sector Program (PA- NPSP) under Task Order No. 01 of the Power Africa Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract No. 720-674-18-D-00003. PA-NPSP is a five-year program with a period of performance from April 2, 2018, to March 31, 2023. The PA-NPSP Quarterly Report for Year 2 Quarter 1 of the program sets out significant developments and achievements from 1 October 2019 through 31 December 2019 in U.S. Government Fiscal Year 2020, Quarter 1 (FY20Q1). PA-NPSP is the signature initiative of Power Africa in Nigeria. Coordinated by USAID, Power Africa is a U.S. government-led partnership that brings together the collective resources of over 170 public and private sector partners to double access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa. Power Africa’s goal is to add more than 30,000 megawatts (MW) of new electricity generation capacity and connect 60 million new homes and businesses to power by 2030.
PA-NPSP promotes Power Africa aims by working to increase electricity Figure 1 : FY20Q1 Key Results availability, access, and reliability throughout Nigeria, measuring progress across four outcomes: • Outcome 1 (OC1): Increase Private Sector Investment in Gas Supply, Power Generation, and Transmission • Outcome 2 (OC2): Facilitate New Off-grid Connections to Cleaner Power Supply • Outcome 3 (OC3): Improve the Enabling Environment for Private Sector Participation in the Power Sector • Outcome 4 (OC4): Promote Improved Liquidity throughout the Energy Sector
QUARTERLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS Key performance indicators: By 2023, PA-NPSP has a target to enable 10,000 MW of new/unlocked generation capacity and 3,000,000 connections. For PA-NPSP key indicators, the table below sets out FY20 provisional targets and FY20Q1 results, followed by brief explanations. Table 1: PA-NPSP Selected Targets and Results (FY20Q1) Category FY20 Targets1 FY20Q1 Results Generation Capacity Reached Financial Close (MW) 987 MW 3.05 MW New Connections (#) 200,000 42,642 Amount Leveraged by US Government (US$) US$1,200,000,000 US$20,400,000
1 Targets are under review and may change for FY20 pending FY20 Work Plan approval. In this report, PA-NPSP has adjusted the Indicator 5 target, “MWs from transactions that have ACHIEVED financial closure,” to better reflect the Afam transaction’s total generation capacity (expected to close in FY20).
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 1
Generation (3.05 MW): • Supporting on-grid generation sector: PA-NPSP continues to provide technical assistance to the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) to reduce outstanding enabling environment issues plaguing the on-grid generation sector. Significant progress has been made during this reporting period, including the move to the negotiation phase of the Afam transactions with expected financial closure by September 2020. PA-NPSP expects an increase in MWs for on-grid generation in the subsequent quarters. • Provision of reliable electricity to institutions of learning in Nigeria: PA-NPSP’s support of REA’s Energizing Education Program (EEP) resulted in the commissioning of the 3.05 MW off-grid solar hybrid with diesel generator as back-up for downtime for the Alex Ekwueme University in the eastern region of Nigeria. EEP aims to provide sustainable and clean power supply to institutions of learning across Nigeria. This particular project will provide reliable and new electricity connection to a combined population of about 3,590 (both students and staff on campus). Connections (42,642): • Over 40,000 new connections added this quarter: Of this total, over 1,400 are in rural communities (Cross Rivers, Plateau and Kogi states) under the PA-NPSP-supported Rural Electrification Fund (REF) under Rural Electrification Agency (REA) primarily through Solar Home Systems, which is 98 percent of the total new connections. • Over US$20.4M mobilized and leveraged by U.S. institutions and organizations: Through the support of NPSP in the off-grid space, these deals were successfully closed between off-grid companies and several investors from the United States. Notable of these deals is the US$20M investment in form of grants and equity by CRE Venture Capital and Omidyar Network. This investment is expected to provide the necessary catalyst for the development of the off-grid market in Nigeria. Providing direct support to the President’s office on the Presidential Power Initiative (PPI): To assist the Nigerian Government and Siemens to rapidly upgrade Nigerian transmission and distribution infrastructure to increase generation capacity to 25,000 MWs, PA-NPSP initiated onboarding of a PPI advisor to support the Ministry of Finance with respect to implementation of the initiative. PA-NPSP will continue to engage working-level contacts at Siemens and assign three additional PPI advisors in 2020. Advancing comprehensive state-level energy resource planning: PA-NPSP mobilized stakeholders to advance state-level energy resource planning in coordination with the Governor and Commissioner of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in Lagos State. During the quarter, the program moved rapidly to form a team of technical experts in load forecasting, transmission planning, and generation planning and organized preliminary technical workshops. Facilitating privatization of large power generation assets to financial closure: PA-NPSP analyses continue to support divestiture of Afam Generation Company (240 MW 3 Fast Power and 700 MW Afam Power Plc). In October 2019, the National Council on Privatization approved Transcorp Power Consortium as the Preferred Bidder for Afam Electricity Generation Company and directed that Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) progress to the negotiation stage of the transaction. This approval marks a key milestone to bring the Afam transaction to financial close. PA-NPSP supported BPE with review of Transcorp Power on the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (SSPA) and the Performance Agreement commercial documents. PA-NPSP is currently reviewing Transcorp Power’s Business Plan to ensure the plan is aligned with the Performance Agreement negotiated with BPE. This is a critical step for the transaction to achieve financial closure in FY20. Additionally, PA-NPSP is making significant progress in
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 2
structuring a process that could lead to the privatization of Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) gas-fired generation assets with a combined output of 4,750 MW of installed capacity. Continuing to drive off-grid incremental power generation and connections by improving market transparency, mobilizing financing, and capacity building: PA-NPSP studies evaluating key agricultural values chains and in-depth market information presented in actionable tools create new opportunities for off-grid energy use. PA-NPSP also directly assists developers in sourcing private sector financing and funding from international organizations such as the World Bank and non-profit organizations such All On. PA-NPSP contributions to a strengthened energy sector are evident in the winning performance of nine program-supported winners of the joint All On and United States African Development Foundation 2019 Nigeria Off-Grid Energy Challenge and of the first mini- grid awardee in the World Bank Nigeria Electrification Sosai Renewable Energies Company displays solar Program (NEP). Capacity building at the REA continues appliances. Sosai was one of nine PA-NPSP–supported to result in expansion of Energizing Economies Initiative winners of the 2019 Nigeria Off-Grid Energy (EEI), resulting in a significant increase in connections. Challenge. Photo: Sosai Finding solutions to fundamental and complex problems caused by lack of liquidity across the sector: • For the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), liquidity issues start with receiving an adequate tariff for its service. An important part of TCN’s tariff calculation is an accurate inventory of its many assets. During this reporting period, PA-NPSP developed an integrated approach to address this challenge that includes the process of mapping resources, building a flexible and accurate tool, and training TCN staff on how to record essential data and use it for decision making. PA-NPSP and partners organized events in Abuja and Lagos to counteract low awareness of gender-based • For distribution companies, improved liquidity violence in the energy sector. Photos: PA-NPSP will result when there is a reduction in the aggregate technical, commercial, and collection losses (ATC&C). PA-NPSP is directly addressing this issue in a pilot initiative the program launched this quarter with the large distribution company (DISCO), Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED). During the pilot, PA-NPSP will work with PHED to reform PHED’s key processes, improve field-based activities, and calculate and localize ATC&C losses within a small area or business unit of PHED. • During the quarter, PA-NPSP made significant progress on a meter availability study to assess metering capabilities in Nigeria, increasingly important due to the recent increase in the import tariff on meters. The study will provide a realistic forecast of available meters from both domestic manufacturing and foreign imports and will inform DISCO metering implementation plans and provide a schedule that DISCOs and NERC can follow and monitor progress.

RESULTS BY TECHNICAL AREA
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 8
RESULTS BY TECHNICAL AREA
ENERGY RESOURCES: GAS SUPPLY (OUTCOME 1) Technical Overview While there are many challenges to address within Nigeria’s gas-to-power chain, the inability of generation companies to pay gas invoices reliably is a key issue and a non-starter for requirements such as activation of gas supply agreements. Neither party is interested in activating an agreement that they know will likely default under current sector commercial conditions. This situation in turn impacts investment in upstream exploration and production, as well as midstream infrastructure investments such as pipelines and processing facilities. As illiquidity issues remain at the forefront of discussions with gas stakeholders, in the near-term PA-NPSP will focus resources on downstream interventions that will have positive implications on revenue collections and payments to the gas sector. The Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialization Program (NGFCP) is a flagship program that USAID has supported since 2016 in partnership with the FGN, World Bank Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership, and UK Department for International Development. Aside from the many benefits of the program including potential power derived from proposed gas to power projects and the estimated US$1 billion per year lost to flaring of gas, the NGFCP will have a positive effect on the citizens and environment of Nigeria through a reduction of CO2 emissions. NGFCP offers additional potential to create local employment for Nigerians and new export and contract opportunities for U.S. and western producers of energy equipment and services in support of local flare capture projects during implementation and ongoing project operations. In FY18/19, PA-NPSP supported the program to develop selection criteria and conduct a pre-qualification assessment that resulted in the selection of 205 pre-qualified bidders. PA-NPSP also supported the pre- qualified bidder’s conference, organized to provide additional program information and address concerns of bidders at the pre-qualification stage. Top Achievements at a Glance Moving NGFCP closer to issuing an RFP to qualified applicants: PA-NPSP has continued its support of the NGFCP to move it closer towards the issuance of the request for proposals (RFP) to over 200 pre-qualified applicants. During the quarter, PA-NPSP and sub-contractor Gas Strategies attended and participated in reviews of the NGFCP Commercial Agreements conducted at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington D.C. (4 to 8 November 2019) and in Lagos, Nigeria (3 to 4 December 2019) together with representatives from the Ministry of Petroleum Resources (MPR), the Department of Petroleum Resources, World Bank, and national and international legal counsel. The drafts of the four commercial agreements (Milestone Development Agreement, Gas Supply Agreement, Connection Agreement and the Deliver or Pay Agreement) were thoroughly reviewed with the primary aim of producing bankable agreements to international standard which will aid a successful RFP launch. NPSP and World Bank representatives meet with NGFCP Program Manager and Following additional work by the lawyers and peer review, the Honorable Minister of State Petro leum to final drafts of the commercial agreements will be forwarded by discuss the next phase of the NGFCP . the Minister of State of Ministry of Petroleum to the Federal Photo: PA-NPSP Ministry of Justice for approval and will be included in the RFP release.
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 9
In November both the World Bank Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership and PA-NPSP advisors reviewed the initiative and progress to date with the newly appointed Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and promoted the restructuring of the NGFCP decision-making process because the Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee had become too large to be an effective decision-making body. The minister approved the establishment of a more efficient Decision Review and Approval Committee, which will replace the steering committee in its capacity as the decision maker for NGFCP. During this quarter, flare sites were reviewed and classified as Tier 1, and Tiers 2, 3 and 4. Tier 1 flare sites are those considered to be “RFP ready” and account for ~300 million standard cubic feet per day. NGFCP held meetings with seven of the eight producers with waivers to develop flare gas utilization projects independent of the NGFCP. Flare gas associated with these waivers account for ~100 million standard cubic feet per day (these projects include other associated and non-associated gas), so it is important to determine whether the utilization projects are being implemented satisfactorily. Unsatisfactory implementation of projects would result in revoking the waivers. Six of the seven demonstrated satisfactory progress which included, variously, signed gas supply agreements with off- takers, proof of purchase, testing and installation of some of the project facilities, and an executed Milestone Development Agreement with the Department of Petroleum Resources. Where their facilities are not substantially complete, producers will be provided with a draft Milestone Development Agreement and will be required to post a Milestone Bond following execution of the Milestone Development Agreement. Gas Strategies will also work with the Department of Petroleum Resources to improve the NGFCP Portal to ensure it is ready for the RFP process.

ON-GRID GENERATION (OUTCOME 1) Technical Overview The on-grid generation sector in Nigeria continues to struggle with an imbalance between power generation and consumption, given that, despite more than 13,000 MW of power generation capacity in the country, only an average of 3,800 MW reliably reaches the electricity consumers. Several factors are responsible for this significant imbalance including the absence of a cost-reflective tariff resulting in sector illiquidity, lack of technical and financial capacity by owners of the power assets, inadequate/obsolete transmission and distribution infrastructures, and overall public sector governance and regulatory challenges. The absence of an enabling environment coupled with the high investment risk and illiquidity issue has made it difficult to attract new private sector investment in on-grid generation to bridge the energy gap. The Federal Government of Nigeria, aware of the need to develop the on-grid power sector, has been working on various initiatives and interventions aimed at resolving existing challenges and expanding the capacity for the future power needs of the country. One initiative is the PPI – based on the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap developed by Siemens AG. In July 2019, the Federal Government of Nigeria and Siemens AG signed an implementation agreement for the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap. The Roadmap aims to fix the sector’s unreliable electricity transmission and distribution network and increase the grid’s capacity for future power needs in Nigeria to about 25,000 MW by year 2025. This commendable initiative, if executed properly, should go a long way in developing the country’s power sector by the rehabilitation, upgrade and expansion of transmission and distribution networks as well as increasing power generation in the country. Top Achievements at a Glance PA-NPSP analyses continue to support divestiture of Afam Generation Company (240 MW 3 Fast Power and 700 MW Afam Power Plc): In October 2019, the National Council on Privatization approved Transcorp Power Consortium as the Preferred Bidder for Afam Electricity Generation Company and directed that Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) progress to the negotiation stage of the transaction. This approval marks a key milestone to bring the Afam transaction to financial close. PA-NPSP supported BPE with the review of the comments received from Transcorp Power on the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (SSPA) and the Performance Agreement commercial documents. PA-NPSP is currently reviewing Transcorp Power’s Business Plan to ensure the plan is aligned with the Performance Agreement negotiated with BPE. This is a critical step for the transaction to achieve financial closure in fiscal year 2020. Supporting the privatization of other NDPHC gas-fired generation assets: Power Africa, through its Power Africa Transactions and Reforms Program (PATRP) and PA-NPSP assistance programs, has been supporting NDPHC with privatization of its ten gas-fired generation assets (combined output of 4,750MW of installed capacity) since 2014. Unfortunately, the privatization process has come to a halt for various reasons, including changes in the market conditions and government’s inability to provide bankable project and commercial documents. NDPHC and BPE are currently identifying and analyzing the various options available to them to relaunch the privatization process and determine the optimal path forward for the FGN and the current shareholders. In evaluating the different options, the NDPHC board is prioritizing four critical objectives: • Objective 1 – Recover the government’s investment in the power sector • Objective 2 – Increase the reliability and efficiency in the power sector • Objective 3 – Introduce private sector participation consistent with the intent of government initiatives • Objective 4 – Reduce the burden of government’s investments in the power sector
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 11
In order to determine the optimal path forward, the board of NPDHC requested an independent perspective on the various options available. The board asked PA-NPSP to provide an analysis of the options to divest the NDPHC generation assets that ensured a return on government investments. PA- NPSP presented the analysis to the NDPHC board (chaired by the Vice President of Nigeria) at a meeting on 21 November 2019. Subsequently, the board requested PA-NPSP to present the options to a meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC), comprising the Vice President and 36 Governors, on 19 December. PA-NPSP presented the options at NEC as planned; the NEC committee decided that consideration of the options be put on hold until the shareholders conduct a holistic review of NDPHC’s operations in order to take informed decisions on way forward. The shareholders requested that an annual general meeting be held to carry out the review; date for the meeting is yet to be scheduled. Initiating transaction advisory support to priority energy developers: • Quaint Energy: PA-NPSP and Quaint are in the process of signing a letter of commitment and non-disclosure agreement to formalize areas of collaboration for on-grid and off-grid projects. Quaint is a multi-dimensional energy development company that: (1) builds power generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, (2) develops integrated oil and gas projects, and (3) provides engineering/consulting solutions. Quaint has been selected as the preferred bidder for the Omi Kampe Dam (2 MW) in Kogi State and Ikere Gorge Dam (6 MW) in Oyo State. Quaint is currently negotiating these concession and power purchase agreements. Quaint has also partnered with General Electric for the Northern Nigeria Solar Initiative across 19 northern states. It will focus on deploying captive solar independent power producers for utility water treatment plants, hospitals, universities, and critical state assets. The first phase of the project covers seven states with a cumulative capacity of more than 150 MW. The plan is for excess power to be sold to the Kano/Kaduna distribution company. • Iseyin Agro-City Development Project (5MW): The Iseyin Energy Park Project will construct a Central Agricultural hub with a power plant and a refinery expansion capacity for the Iseyin, Itseiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa Federal Consistency and the entire Oke-Ogun Geo-political Zone. The project will construct an LNG daughter station with a capacity of 1,250,000 scf per day for gasifying the 5MW. It will provide energy connections to a 5,000-acre agricultural industrial hub and is fully supported by the Oyo State Government. It is expected to be commissioned December 2022. • Proton Delta by Sunrise: Proton Energy is developing the Proton Delta Sunrise Project which is a gas-fired combined cycle power plant under development in Sapele, Delta State. The initial planned installed capacity for the project is 150 MW (Phase 1) which could be expanded to 500 MW in a Phase 2. Phase 1 is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by Q4 2020. PA-NPSP intends to further engage with Proton Energy in the coming weeks to discuss the project status and identify areas of collaboration and support to facilitate the commercial close. Building capacity of BPE and DISCO directors: Corporate governance is defined as the collection of practices, systems and rules that provide guidance to an organization’s board of directors. Without strong corporate governance, companies are challenged in achieving their goals of both fiscal and social responsibility. To address these issues with DISCO directors, PA-NPSP hosted a workshop titled “Company Direction Course 1” (CDC-1) on 22–23 October. The course brought together management, participants including directors and deputy directors from the BPE and Abuja Electricity Distribution Company. The overall goal of the workshop was to broaden the directors’ understanding of the fundamentals of corporate governance and generally provide them with tools and techniques to increase their understanding and appreciation of the key responsibilities of a company director. The training was conducted by the Institute of Directors (IOD) Nigeria with PA-NPSP facilitating a special session titled “Managing Utilities.” PA-NPSP received many positive comments about the training and is in the process of organizing the follow-on workshop, CDC2, as well as launching an additional CDC-1 training.

It is indeed an eye opener for me as most of the things discussed were new to me.” - Muhammad Dikko Abdullahi, Director, Bureau of Public Enterprises. “This workshop has broadened my overall view of corporate governance and increased my capacity for leadership, I am grateful to have been a part of it.” A cross section of course participants and facilitators. - Olusegun Doherty AEDC Board Member Photo: PA-NPSP
Engaging with Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET): During this quarter, PA- NPSP conducted several meetings with the Managing Director of the NBET to discuss a range of activities at the organization. PA-NPSP raised issues surrounding issuance of a capacity Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and identified areas where PA-NPSP can provide technical and advisory support. The Managing Director highlighted capacity building and an Enterprise Resource Program as the immediate needs for NBET. The Managing Director noted that a review of the PPA and the DISCOs’ Vesting Contracts is not a priority for NBET currently because of the minimum remittance order issued by NERC. PA-NPSP will continue to engage with the NBET to find opportunities for engagement and prepare for future PPA discussions.

OFF-GRID (OUTCOME 2) Technical Overview PA-NPSP’s support to Nigeria’s growing off-grid sector continues to generate significant impact on Nigeria’s electrification goals despite the considerable challenges which remain including limited track record, lack of market data/information, financing, human and institutional capacity issues, and regulatory challenges. The program’s ability to advance core initiatives outlined in the Year 2 Work Plan have been supported by growing support from major donors which further strengthen the sector’s development through a combination of additional programmatic support, direct grants, and/or technical assistance. PA- NPSP support to scaling up the sector is aided by three key programs launched last year which aim to catalyze billions in private sector financing: 1. REA-championed Energizing Economies Initiative (EEI), a fully private sector- financed program aimed at developing a portfolio of mini-grids providing reliable electricity to shops in unserved or underserved markets; the program contributes to the growth of micro small and medium enterprises (MSME), results in the creation of new jobs, and improves the health and safety of the working environment in these markets; 2. World Bank-funded Nigeria Electrification Program (NEP), a US$350 million subsidy program for mini-grids and solar home system (SHS) companies that aims to First mini-grid commissioned by PowerGen under the NEP program. NPSP has been supporting PowerGen on catalyze significant new financing for the the execution of the project. Photo: PA-NPSP scaling-up of the off-grid sector; 3. European Union-funded Mini-grid Acceleration Scheme (MAS) and Interconnected Mini-grid Acceleration Scheme (IMAS), a €10 million grant program that will provide distribution equipment as in-kind grants, integrate productive use, and support resiliency of and cooperation with Nigeria’s DISCOs. Top Achievements at a Glance PA-NPSP has made meaningful progress on its off-grid initiatives in FY20Q1 across the spectrum of Work Plan initiatives. The updates below highlight some of the more significant achievements during this reporting period are organized by the three Outcome 2 technical assistance framework drivers: 1) Market Transparency, 2) Mobilizing Financing, and 3) Capacity Building. Additionally, PA-NPSP continues to play a pivotal role in coordinating the key stakeholders in the off-grid space in Nigeria and successfully convened the quarterly off-grid stakeholder’s meeting in collaboration with All On in December. Market Transparency Launch of productive use study for key agricultural value chains: PA-NPSP launched a study for the development of a Productive Use Stimulation that will identify priority electrification opportunities within key agricultural value chains. This study, being led by the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), will consist of two components: 1) Value Chain Analysis to assess agricultural value chains for twelve crops in two states to identify and understand opportunities for electrification that increase entrepreneur profits and can be served by mini-grids and 2) Mini-grid Feasibility Study to define priority value chains in rural Nigerian communities to provide insight on where the greatest opportunities exist to grow local economies through electrification. The study also includes survey and data collection in rural communities and

designed based on inputs with USAID Feed the Future, Konexa, and African Development Bank (AfDB), which will also benefit from the results of this study. Start of import duty exemption process study: PA-NPSP started designing a plan to support off- grid companies through the import duty exemption process. The customs process generally, and the import duty exemption process in particular, creates key choke points for off-grid companies seeking to import solar energy components. The PA-NPSP team has been working to identify these choke points and outline the full process for obtaining an Import Duty Exemption Certificate. In addition, PA-NPSP plans to provide targeted support to more than five off-grid companies through a short webinar or workshop in early 2020.
Figure 2: Summary of import duty exemption process Developing new tools for Solar Home Systems (SHS) companies: PA-NPSP completed two tools for improving the effectiveness of SHS companies:

PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 15
1. Strategies for Expansion Tool, to empower SHS companies to make informed decisions along key components of their value chain utilizing the FY18/19 assessment on strategies for expansion of SHS companies. 2. Payment Services Provider (PSP) Tool, to profile each of the major PSPs and allow developers and operators in the off-grid sector to review and determine the best PSP or consortium of PSPs for their targeted demography. These tools will provide key insights into the determinants that off- grid developers study when considering the expansion of their service lines and respective payment providers. The tool will assist developers to optimize customer reach, develop productive partnerships, and improve operating margins as they scale up.
Figure 4: Segmentation of the various types of payment service providers available in Nigeria In addition, PA-NPSP is working to develop a geospatial mapping tool together with Shell Foundation, USAID-funded program NOMAP, and UK Department for International Development Africa Clean Energy Business program. This tool will identify least cost electrification models by location at a basic level and support decision making for off-grid businesses at an advanced level. PA-NPSP drafted a concept note, incorporating the key parameters and functionalities, which has been agreed upon by the three programs. As continued support to the EEI program, PA-NPSP will institutionalize the lessons learned in Phase 1 and update the surveys and energy audits throughout the Odyssey platform. This integration will facilitate the next phase of implementation of EEI and include layout design for distribution modeling. Mobilizing Finance Developing innovative financing models: PA-NPSP continues to advance multiple potential pilots for innovative financing models. This includes ongoing technical assistance to mini-grid developers like GVE, Nayo, Rubitec, and Renewvia, and collaboration with financiers including Electrifi, All On, DWS, and InfraCredit to implement a split asset ownership and institutional investment model for mini-grids. PA- NPSP is also supporting SHS companies in securing local currency trade finance to meet their working capital needs and advance their scale. To unlock investment facilitation in the sector, PA-NPSP is also evaluating how to reduce transaction time and costs. PA-NPSP has concluded a study to reduce the resource requirements for technical due diligence (TDD), and this study will optimize the financing process and reduce transaction costs. The study was socialized in a TDD workshop in October with pre-qualified technical advisors and investors. These trained, pre-qualified advisors, when engaged by project developers and investors for conducting technical due diligence, shall be able to reduce the time and costs for this process.

Figure 5: Technical due diligence process PA-NPSP also supported the World Bank and REA in facilitating an investor and mini-grid developer match-making event in December that reviewed the NEP to promote the mobilization of developer financing for projects under NEP. Developing innovative business models: PA-NPSP has made progress in developing partnerships for potential pilot programs of multiple innovative business models. The longstanding relationship with USAID’s Integrated Healthcare Program moved forward in a joint meeting in November 2019 with the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency where potential collaboration was discussed. Further, PA-NPSP has developed new partnerships and has had initial discussions with Total, Forte Oil, IHS Towers (telecommunications infrastructure), Shell Nigeria, and Quaint Energy. PA-NPSP anticipates gaining further traction amongst these partnerships in the coming quarter as these pilots move from concept to implementation. Supporting other grant programs: PA-NPSP continues to actively support the key donor programs detailed above, including direct engagement with donor partners and the private sector. The Nigeria Electrification Program (NEP), since being launched in April, has prequalified over 15 companies to participate in its performance-based grant program for mini-grids and SHS. In December, PA-NPSP supported PowerGen in the development and commissioning of NEP’s first mini-grid. After finishing the first phase of its off-grid investor engagement initiative, PA-NPSP also shared a roster of shortlisted financiers with the World Bank, which will be shared with developers applying to the NEP grant windows to reduce barriers to acquiring finance. NPSP’s technical assistance to developers applying for the United States African Development Foundation and All On grant challenge was also celebrated in a ceremony in December in Lagos. PA-NPSP has submitted a report on investor engagement to date which details the list of investors together with their preferred terms. Capacity Building Continuing support to REA Project Implementation Unit (PIU): PA-NPSP has continued to develop capacity in Nigeria’s REA through its support of the PIU with a team of more than 20 advisors embedded in the agency. In collaboration with NPSP, the PIU has advanced Phase II implementation of multiple REA projects including the Energizing Economies Initiative, NEP, and additional focus on the Energizing Education Program. The PIU also supported development of new materials and projects this
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 17
quarter such as innovative business models, promotional materials that highlight the success of Nigeria’s first tripartite agreement for an interconnected mini-grid, and provision of technical support across multiple PA-NPSP initiatives. Developing large-scale mini-grid implementation manuals: PA-NPSP is supporting the REA in the development of deployment guides for large-scale implementation programs. The guides cover how to access investment and assistance for scaling-up of community mini-grid programs such as NEP and MAS. Additional topics covered include how to establish captive power generation projects across various Nigerian universities through REA’s Energizing Education Program which is funded by World Bank, AfDB, and FGN. As part of this work, PA-NPSP is working closely with REA to outline the processes and develop the required tools, methodologies, and guidelines for the large-scale deployment of these various mini- grid models and projects. This will standardize these projects, increase their transparency, and reduce the risks associated with project development and delivery. Hosting Quarterly Off-Grid Stakeholders Meeting in partnership with All On: On 3 December 2019, All On and PA-NPSP hosted the quarterly off-grid investors and donor coordination meeting, where donors and key investors in the Nigerian power market meet and provide updates on current projects and recent activities. Major stakeholders in attendance were: Konexa, Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority, Swifta, and Clean Tech Hub. These organizations presented recent accomplishments and goals for the evolving landscape of integrated payments, under-grid mini-grid policies and regulations, and DISCO business with off-grid interventions. A highlight of the event was Lion’s Head’s presentation on opportunities available through their Off-Grid Energy Fund. The meeting concluded with a panel discussion on payment services and financial inclusion moderated by the Central Bank of Nigeria with panelists from the Development Bank of Nigeria, NIBBS and SANEF. During the afternoon PA-NPSP held an Under Grid Mini-Grid Workshop that brought together investors, developers, regulators, and DISCOs to discuss practical solutions and guidance on implementation of under-grid mini-grids in Nigeria.
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 18
TRANSMISSION (OUTCOME 3) Technical Overview Due to insufficient historical investment in the transmission system, transmission wheeling capacity remains a key constraint to the development of the Nigerian power sector. Transmission grid stability is a major challenge; with all dispatch done manually, the system experiences an unusually high number of system collapses. TCN must improve its system operations to increase grid stability and reliability if Nigeria is going to reach its energy access and industrialization goals. Despite the critical need to invest in the transmission system, federal budget allocations are extremely unpredictable, and maintenance goes largely overlooked. Donor agencies (World Bank, Agence Française de Développement, AfDB, Islamic Development Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency) have allocated more than US$1.6 billion in funding as a part of TCN’s Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Program, but more funding is necessary to modernize the system. Under the World Bank US$468 million loan, funding has been allocated for an Energy Management System and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition that (if properly implemented) could help TCN better diagnose and manage grid reliability issues. Combined with historical funding challenges, the chronic liquidity issues affecting the sector have made it difficult for TCN to maintain financial solvency. In FY20, the PA-NPSP team supports TCN in the areas of business development and market operations. Top Achievements at a Glance Implementing an asset register for TCN: PA-NPSP is rolling out a fixed asset register for TCN. This technical assistance enables TCN to complete an accurate and current inventory of their assets, and this information is important because asset value is a key component of how NERC calculates TCN’s tariff. The rollout of the asset register involves mapping TCN resources and departments involved in their construction/maintenance, building an asset register tool and manual, training staff, and managing the implementation of the asset register. A primary goal is to help TCN have the required knowledge and resources to update and maintain the asset register internally. Currently, PA-NPSP is providing on-site technical training for engineers from the Transmission Service Provider (TSP) to effectively record asset data and conduct condition assessments of substation equipment.

Photo: PA- NPSP TCN advertises procurement for an audit of TCN’s Market Operator and System Operator: PA-NPSP provided the Market Operator with a strategic planning report on feedback mechanisms for improving the Market Operator’s processes based on the Market Rules that the sector is mandated to follow. Using the recommendations provided in the report, TCN advertised the procurement for an
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 19
auditor on November 18, 2019 to perform the mandatory annual audit of the Market Operator and System Operator, which is a critical step in improving the performance of both divisions and TCN overall. PA-NPSP makes recommendations to improve TCN’s system operations: To improve the Nigeria electrical grid’s overall performance, stability, and efficiency, PA-NPSP conducted a current-state analysis of TCN’s System Operations and benchmarked these operations relative to international best practices. PA-NPSP briefed senior TCN leadership on the findings and recommended that TCN improve the following to improve system operations: . 1. Operating policies and procedures 2. Investigations, analysis and reporting on daily operations and grid disturbances 3. Ancillary services 4. Access to real-time information

DISTRIBUTION (OUTCOME 4) Technical Overview Distribution performance in Nigeria traditionally has been poor, and the entire sector has been plagued with insufficient tariffs, low collections and remittances, high aggregate technical, commercial, and collection (ATC&C) losses, frequent load rejection, aging infrastructure, and limited investment. Presently, the DISCOs remit less than 30 percent of their revenues to the Market Operator and NBET and owe over Naira 1.1 trillion to the electricity market. The system is struggling with a wheeling capacity of less than 4,000 MW, and only 45 percent of households in Nigeria have access to electricity. Those who do have access to grid-based power experience frequent power cuts and erratic supply. By mid- 2019, there already were nine total system blackouts, which is unacceptable for a modern electricity supply industry. Meter penetration is less than 50 percent, and DISCOs rely heavily on estimated billing. This results in inflated bills and has left the DISCOs with disgruntled customers who often contest bills and refuse to pay. To finance the necessary metering infrastructure and curb the reliance on estimated billing, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) established the Meter Asset Provider (MAP) program. During the quarter, NERC issued a formal notice to eight DISCOs stating its intention to formally withdraw their operating licenses in accordance with provisions of the act governing the electricity sector in the country. The dispute is centered on the DISCO’s minimum remittance obligations to the market, which DISCOs have consistently failed to attain due to excessively high ATC&C losses, high collections, and a tariff shortfall. DISCOs had until December 7, 2019 to show cause in writing why their licenses should not be cancelled, and such an exercise has consumed the better part of the DISCO’s capacity during the period. Following submission of the written petitions, NERC intends to hold formal hearings with DISCO management and undertake a forensic review of the DISCO’s financial records. Top Achievements at a Glance Launch of Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED) Loss Reduction Pilot Project: PA-NPSP is implementing a pilot project and transformation strategy with PHED to support performance improvements in commercial management, network metering, and revenue protection. With the aim of eventually justifying and supporting a greater system-wide rollout, the pilot will reform PHED’s key processes, improve field-based activities, and calculate and localize ATC&C losses within a small area or business unit (BU) of PHED. During the quarter, PA-NPSP advanced several key deliverables to support the planned project kickoff in January. This included drafting a letter of cooperation between PA-NPSP and PHED, developing job descriptions for and interviewing commercial management support staff based in Port Harcourt, and hosting senior management of PHED in Abuja to discuss the pilot project and loss reduction strategy. PA-NPSP began preparing a transformation plan document to guide PHED management in the subsequent rollout of the pilot project system-wide. The transformation plan provides step-by-step instructions to PHED management on: 1) evaluating the success of the pilot, 2) initiating system-wide rollout, 3) selecting subsequent operating areas, 4) rolling out new and revised commercial management and revenue protection processes and procedures system-wide, 5) accessing financing and working capital, and 6) expanding performance management. In addition, in preparation for launching DISCO performance support programing, PA-NPSP held preliminary discussions with each of the recipient DISCOs to pre- approve the tailored technical assistance. Launch of Meter Asset Provider (MAP) Program Planning: NERC expects DISCOs to meter all customers on estimated billing and new customers which may require over 4.7 million new meters to be installed. To support the ambitious targets associated with the MAP program, PA-NPSP developed a systematic plan to improve metering operations within DISCOs and the meter monitoring organization, the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Authority (NEMSA). This plan involves technical and
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 21
advisory support to improve planning and execution, as well as quarterly workshops and targeted training programs. To assess the metering capabilities in Nigeria, PA-NPSP is conducting a metering availability study to provide a realistic forecast of meters available from both domestic manufacturing and foreign imports. The results of the study will form an input to DISCO’s metering implementation plans, provide a schedule that both the DISCOs and NERC can follow and monitor for progress. PA-NPSP will also review the DISCO’s implementation plans, provide suggestions, assist with implementation issues and backlogs, and resolve bottlenecks. During the quarter, PA-NPSP made significant progress on the meter availability study which has become increasingly important due to the recent increase in the import tariff on meters. The import tariff slowed down the MAP rollout and hampered meter availability. PA-NPSP discussed the study with NERC who indicated that if the study proves that relying solely on locally produced meters will not meet the demands of the MAP program, the findings would assist them in lobbying the port authority to reduce tariffs. PA-NPSP also drafted a concept note for hosting quarterly MAP support workshops with the aim of accelerating the development and deployment of metering within the DISCOs. Launch of Performance Support Programs: PA-NPSP earmarked three DISCOs for targeted support: Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, Eko Electricity Distribution Company, and Ikeja Electric. During year 1, PA-NPSP developed a suite of tailored technical assistance programs, called Performance Support Programs (PSP) based on the results of the diagnostic reports for each individual DISCO. PA- NPSP compiled the performance metrics in key areas such as metering, commercial management, revenue protection, and network planning and combined them with NPSP’s core approach and metrics. Preliminary discussions with each of the recipient DISCOs were held to pre-approve strategies and key interventions in advance of formal DISCO, NPSP, and USAID leadership presentations scheduled for January 2020. In addition, certain key metering support activities under the PSPs have already been kicked-off in this quarter with the three target DISCOs.

ENABLING ENVIRONMENT (OUTCOME 3) Technical Overview The under-performance of the Nigerian power sector is linked to many broad challenges related to electricity policy enforcement, regulatory uncertainty, data availability, sector transparency, transmission system constraints, and major power sector planning shortfalls that have kept the sector from reaching commercial viability. PA-NPSP works with FGN stakeholders to identify and implement interventions that will create an enabling environment that can be conducive to the long-term development of the sector. Power Africa recognizes that the creation of a strong enabling environment can catalyze investment and promote sustainable long-term development. With the goal of improving Nigeria’s enabling environment while achieving Power Africa goals, PA-NPSP has concentrated interventions across the following key themes: • Sector Planning and Coordination: Work with FGN stakeholders to address the current lack of clear vision for the sector and implement mechanisms to sustainably enact some form of long- term planning. The development of an Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and planning process for Lagos State can serve as a model for other states and improve overall sector planning and coordination in Nigeria. • Improved Regulatory Environment: Assist NERC to develop, implement, and enforce regulations that will improve sector economics and increase investment. Work with the regulator to develop organizational capacity and improve overall regulatory processes. • Increased Sector Transparency: Work with FGN entities to cultivate and sustain reliable sources of sector data that can increase transparency and enable data-driven decision making. • Transmission System Operations: Work with TCN to support the efficient dispatch and optimization of resources. Top Achievements at a Glance Sector Planning and Coordination Advancing Integrated Resource Planning for Lagos State: PA-NPSP kicked off the development of an IRP to increase overall energy security for Lagos State with the Commissioner of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in October. PA-NPSP has appointed an IRP technical head who has begun the formation of a technical study team of key on-grid stakeholders comprised of, but not limited to, the following experts: load forecasting, transmission planning, and generation planning professionals. A technical workshop was hosted in December with the key group of technical on-grid stakeholders to lay the groundwork for formulating the methodology (e.g., selecting a demand forecast model, identifying key software tools, etc.), approach, and timelines for developing an IRP in the months ahead. Engaging with Siemens Nigeria leadership and lending support to the emerging PPI: On 6 November, the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires met with Siemens PA-NPSP staff meet with Lagos State Commissioner Nigeria leadership to brief them on U.S. Government of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in and Power Africa engagement in Nigeria’s energy sector October 2019.

and to offer support to ensure the success of PPI. The USAID/Nigeria Mission Director and Deputy Director of Economic Growth and Environment Office participated in the meeting along with PA-NPSP’s Chief of Party and Deputy Chief of Party. PA-NPSP is in the process of onboarding a PPI advisor to lend support to the Ministry of Finance on tasks such as managing a federal budget with respect to the implementation of the initiative. PA-NPSP will continue to engage working-level contacts at Siemens and assign three more additional PPI advisors. The advisors will form the project management unit for PPI’s special purpose vehicle, which will serve as the financing mechanism for PPI projects across the FGN. The President is expected to formally approve advisors in the second quarter of FY20. Supporting the Office of the President with the PP): Based on a memorandum of understanding between the Federal Government of Nigeria and Siemens, the PPI is an electrification roadmap to rapidly upgrade Nigeria’s transmission and distribution infrastructure with the aim to increase generation capacity to 25,000 MW by year 2025. Once PA-NPSP begins supporting PPI, PA-NPSP will determine how to best help the FGN coordinate with the World Bank regarding the Power Sector Recovery Program (PSRP). Improved Regulatory Environment Implementing Capacity, Performance, Results, and Sustainability (CYPRESS) methodology at the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC): PA-NPSP continues to support NERC in its effort to lead and institutionalize capacity building initiatives that will help it achieve and sustain measurable performance improvement. PA-NPSP has been implementing the CYPRESS methodology to identify the performance levels that NERC would like to achieve, and then conducting a current state assessment of NERC using a tailored Maturity Model Benchmarking Tool. This process will build consensus on the specific capacity requirements that are necessary to achieve sustained performance levels. During FY20Q1, PA-NPSP developed three high-priority domains based on an analysis of NERC’s needs. The team then developed an MMBT outline for the first two domains: Organizational Function and Tariffs.. PA-NPSP presented this work to the NERC commissioners and the NERC CYPRESS Working Group during trips to Abuja in October and December. NERC’s CYPRESS Working Group is currently in the process of reviewing this information and performing a self-assessment. The analysis for the third domain, Licensing, will be completed in Q3 FY20. Facilitating Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) audit workshop: At the request of Mr. Sharfuddeen Mahmoud, head of NERC’s Market, Competition, and Rates (MCR) unit, PA-NPSP facilitated the second workshop on the Multi-Year Tariff Order (MYTO) 2015 Financial Model with the objective of presenting the results of NPSP’s audit work on the model to the commissioners. The workshop was attended by the Chair, commissioners, MCR’s General and Assistant Managers, and other senior staff from the commission. PA-NPSP presented audit findings, results and discussed recommendations for NERC’s next steps. The key findings are summarized as follows: 1. Model Size, Data Structure, Duplications: • The model had 55 sheets compared to 31 sheets in the first iteration of the MYTO 2008 model; • Worksheets added over time were not necessarily linked or referenced to the proper data sources nor the final outputs, which complicated understanding and use of the model; • There were duplicated datasets as wells as other unnecessary content within several sheets. 2. Hard Coded Inputs/Unidentified Sources: • The model used formulas where inputs were written as hard coded numbers rather than using cell references. In such formulas, some equations were not linked with the corresponding assumptions, and once the user altered the input data, the output of the model would not be accurate unless the user found each hard-coded cell and manually changed the values.
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 24
3. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) codes • The model included seven modules of codes written in VBA for automatic calculations. These macro codes were written based on the original model structure, sheet names and cell locations, which were last updated in 2011. As a result, if the user modified a specific sheet VBA codes would stop running and the model would crash unless the user made changes to the VBA codes first. 4. Generation Calculations • PA-NPSP conducted working meetings with NBET to review the data from the PPAs NBET holds with the GENCOs. Based on the information received from NBET, the following issues were identified in the generation sector revenue requirement calculations: o Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission bill (HYPADEC) bill (10%) was double-counted; o Power plants’ capital, O&M, and fuel cost calculations didn’t reflect the terms of their respective PPAs. PA-NPSP discussed the key findings in detail with the MCR team and agreed on changes PA-NPSP should make to the model. PA-NPSP then carried out the changes and developed a revised model. The presentation was well received and the commissioners, particularly Commissioner Garba, Market Competition and Rates, and Commissioner Shatti, Finance and Management Services, expressed strong interest in further PA-NPSP assistance. This assistance would involve developing additional studies that would allow NERC to ensure the accuracy of the data that feeds into the MYTO model. For example, NERC has requested support in data validation for the existing GENCOs (PPA review), which will include working sessions with NERC and NBET to review existing PPAs and help NERC assess what to include in the model. PA-NPSP is currently scoping out these next steps for the commissioners. It is essential for NERC to holistically audit the functionality and content of the MYTO model to achieve a fully cost reflective tariff. This analysis and resulting changes will also help NERC prepare for upcoming tariff reviews. Contributing to achievement of a 100% payment rate of Market Operator invoices by DISCOs: PA-NPSP provided the Market Operator, a division within TCN, with a strategic planning report on recommendations for improving payments to the Market Operator: 1. Maintain a Settlement and Payment Calendar to help determine when payments are not made on time 2. Use the suspension and disconnection mechanism of the Market Rules when payments are not made on time PA-NPSP then provided the required training and direct assistance to implement these actions, resulting in the DISCOs paying 100% of Market Operator invoices. Prior to this, DISCO remittances averaged around 40% per month, with the April 2019 average (the month prior to 100% payment of remittances) at 30.1%. This is a major accomplishment in increasing power sector liquidity and financial stability. Increased Sector Transparency Partnering with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and NERC to improve power sector revenue: At the request of the President’s Chief of Staff’s Energy Advisor and to fulfill Presidential Directive for the energy sector, PA-NPSP began providing project management support to CBN as they lead in collaboration with NERC the process to automate and digitize billing and collection for key “maximum demand” customers. The first step of the providing project management support involves drafting a detailed project plan and garnering buy-in from key stakeholders on their assigned tasks.
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 25
Streamlining the collection and management of data with NERC: NERC currently receives data from its licensees in non-standard formats and has little ability to organize, assess, and make appropriate regulatory decisions based on the data. PA-NPSP is supporting the team tasked to assess the current data “You have really gone over what we sources and develop standardized templates to make requested. This is really what we have been the information easier for the regulator to use. In trying to figure out for a number of years.” November, PA-NPSP led a workshop attended by - Olisa Chukwuma (Manager | Customer Service Standards Unit) NERC division heads and managers on proposed new governance models, data guidelines, and remodeled templates. The new process will improve the analytical capabilities of each division and empower them to effectively carry out their mandated tasks. Currently, PA-NPSP is in the process of finalizing a data governance structure and data templates with NERC commissioners. The team is working to scope a technology solution in collaboration with the World Bank that would increase NERC’s access to data and the reliability of its licensee data. Leveraging the power of analytics and data visualization at NERC: PA-NPSP continues to provide technical support to NERC to improve its approach to data collection and analytics. On 12 “These new adjustments are very good and December, PA-NPSP presented NERC with will definitely help in our analysis.” recommendations to improve data collection templates and key measurement indicators. PA-NPSP - Arit Uya (Assistant General Manager | Customer Complaints Unit) updated collection templates to ensure different NERC divisions could carry out their mandated requirements more effectively. One example involves updating the customer complaint template by including a duration indicator of resolving complaints to ensure the Consumer Affairs division could monitor the efficiency of addressing raised complaints in the sector. PA-NPSP also outlined potential technical support to migrate NERC data to an SQL database to power the proposed data-driven decisions though analytics and visualizations generated though Power BI. Commissioner Oseni of NERC Planning, Research, and Strategy expressed his full support for this plan and dedicated an internal team to help drive it forward. PA-NPSP is now planning its technical support to enable this transformation.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 27
PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE
In close coordination with Deloitte Home Office Management, PA-NPSP utilizes a centralized Project Management Office (PMO) in Abuja to deliver cross-cutting services, with responsibility for the following program elements: • Partnerships, Alliances, and Coordination • Communications and Outreach • Gender and Social Inclusion • Environmental Compliance and Social Impact • Program Results Management
PARTNERSHIPS, ALLIANCES, AND COORDINATION During the quarter, PA-NPSP regularly shared program information and learning bycoordinating with Power Africa, USAID/Nigeria, and Power Africa implementing partners. U.S. trade and investment. PA-NPSP supported Power Africa’s trade and investment efforts (Pillar 4) and Prosper Africa deal teams, providing USAID/Nigeria with information on ongoing and emerging PA- NPSP engagement with U.S. companies. In addition, PA-NPSP assisted the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires and USAID team during a high-level briefing of Siemens Nigeria leadership on U.S. Government and Power Africa engagement in Nigeria’s energy sector and offer of support to ensure PPI success. PA-NPSP also discussed potential opportunities for U.S. firms with U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA)’s Power Africa focal point for West Africa, Clare Sierawski, and USTDA/Nigeria Country Representative, Josh Egba. Participants identified several opportunities, including a feasibility study for TCN for a new 330KV line, equipment to be provided under the PPI through Siemens U.S. or later-stage generation projects, and smart grids. Participants also discussed the possibility of feasibility studies for U.S. firms qualified under the NGFCP and a domestic market study for Nigeria LNG Ltd. With regard to possible reverse trade missions, participants highlighted opportunities for smart grids, enterprise resource planning and supervisory control and data acquisition systems for TCN, NERC, and DISCOs, and battery storage and processing of dry gas. The latter is a by-product of natural gas for which U.S. companies have appropriate technology. Cooperation across USAID implementing partners: NPSP joined with Power Africa’s other Deloitte implementing partners, the West Africa Energy Program (WAEP) and the Southern Africa Energy Program (SAEP) in a Power Africa Knowledge Sharing Meeting in December in Accra, Ghana, to exchange experiences and learning on program strategy, management, and technical approaches. PA-NPSP also leveraged SAEP expertise with its well-regarded annual reporting (cited positively by USAID/Power Africa), consulting with SAEP leadership during development of the first NPSP Annual Report (FY18/19). PA-NPSP also shared knowledge with WAEP on event planning as well as on gender and social inclusion to inform WAEP’s gender strategy. During December, PA-NPSP shared similar gender expertise with Patricia T. Morris, Ph.D., who is conducting a gender analysis to inform the development of USAID/West Africa’s Regional Development Cooperation Strategy, coordinated by Analytical Support Services and Evaluations for Sustainable Systems. The program also briefed R. Chris Troy, the Power Africa Nigeria Desk Officer on Nigeria energy sector progress and challenges during his first field visit to Nigeria in December. Program representatives took part in the USAID/Nigeria Implementing Partner Meeting and in the Development Outreach and Communications team’s quarterly Communications Working Group meeting for implementing partners. PA-NPSP consulted with Power Africa and USAID/Nigeria communication and outreach staff for guidance during review of the program communications strategy.
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 28
COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH During the quarter, the Communications and Outreach team provided cohesive support to promote PA- NPSP accomplishments, including managing events, reporting on activities, and developing story ideas. Timely and accurate reporting: The team submitted major contractual deliverables specified as reporting requirements in the program contract as well as technical deliverables set out in the program work plan. These are detailed in Appendix E: PA-NPSP Deliverable Tracker. PA-NPSP also implemented a new USAID biweekly reporting process that is timely, concise, and focused on impact. The quarterly reporting process was improved to support the technical offices more effectively and to deliver a more concise and actionable report. The team edited all major PA-NPSP publications before release and responded to ad-hoc requests for talking points, agendas, backgrounds, and scenarios throughout the quarter, including PowerPoint review for the Lagos Consul General, materials for USAID speakers at 16 Days of Activism events, and talking points for the U.S. Ambassador’s meeting with AfDB. Communication strategy and program support materials: PA-NPSP launched an in-depth review of its communication strategy that evaluated the resources required to support reporting and external communications of the project. The team reviewed objectives, messaging, target audiences, available communication channels, and tactical approaches and developed a reporting timeline, a classification approach to events, and standard operating procedure for executing impactful events. As part of this review process, the team met with Power Africa and USAID/Nigeria communications experts to map expanded engagement with print and electronic media to ensure greater awareness of NPSP’s interventions in the power sector. The refreshed strategy will be submitted to USAID in the next quarter. As a result of these efforts, PA-NPSP was able to post news and photos of several events on USAID/Nigeria and Power Africa Facebook pages. With a clearer understanding of USAID/Nigeria and Power Africa communication operating procedures, PA-NPSP will continue to expand its awareness raising efforts. During the quarter, the team drafted an updated project fact sheet, a summary of Outcome 2 achievements to date, and two feature stories, to be finalized and submitted to USAID in early FY20Q2. In addition, roll-up banners were refreshed, and custom hanging banners with appropriate messaging and dimensions were developed for each venue. Key events: In collaboration with PA-NPSP technical and operations teams, the communications and outreach team planned and implemented ten events hosted or co-hosted by PA-NPSP during the quarter. These events are described throughout this report and listed in Appendix F: PA-NPSP Event Tracker. Highlights included senior stakeholder events such as the Lagos State IRP meetings, MYTO Briefing, BPE Board of Directors Workshop, and 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence forums. The team provided event planning, management, and communications guidance and support to ensure that PA-NPSP and co-hosts compliantly branded events, speakers stayed on message, and event lessons and key takeaways were captured to report to stakeholders and improve subsequent events. To promote coverage by both Power Africa and USAID/Nigeria, the team used social media to raise awareness of several events, as illustrated below.

Photos: PA-NPSP The communication team also supported Power Africa communication efforts by sharing their knowledge on event planning with WAEP. The communication team reviewed lessons learned and other PA-NPSP best practices related to outreach event planning, including tools and templates. As a result of PA-NPSP’s sharing the program’s acclaimed Women in Energy photo portfolio with Power Africa, USAID/Nigeria, and their implementing partners, photos were prominently included in the USAID/Nigeria 2020 calendar (on the cover and the March feature photo) and in Women in African Power network and WAEP publications.
GENDER AND SOCIAL INCLUSION PA-NPSP strengthened its efforts to create an enabling environment for women and other marginalized and under-represented groups in the energy sector through the platform of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence event and launch of the PA-NPSP Social Inclusion and Diversity in the Energy Sector assessment. “Social Inclusion and Diversity in the Energy Sector” assessment: PA-NPSP engaged a consultant to conduct PA-NPSP’s Energy Sector Social Inclusion and Diversity Assessment and initiated a participatory design process in late November. PA-NPSP also organized a working group of public, private, and non-profit sector experts (six females, two males) to support the research process. During the reporting period, the working group took part in an initial briefing and contributed to the research design. During the research, the group also will review data collection tools, participate in key informant interviews, and help to validate research findings. In FY20Q2, the design will be finalized, tools will be tested, and data collection will commence. “16 Days of Activism” events: PA-NPSP organized milestone 16 Days of Activism against Gender- Based Violence events for the energy sector in Abuja and Lagos to counteract low awareness of gender- based violence. Held in collaboration with Clean Technology Hub, Solar Sister Nigeria, and the Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria (REAN), the informal discussions centered around the importance of safety and dignity for everyone in the workplace. Both events were attended by USAID/Nigeria representatives, PA-NPSP staff, and associates from the partner organizations. A total of 38 people (20 females, 18 males) took part in the Abuja event and 63 people (33 females, 30 males) took part in the Lagos event.
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 30
During the discussions, participants shared their real-world experiences and proposed strategies to address the challenges. Ify Malo, Clean Technology Hub Managing Director, observed that “As women, there are times we need to bring our own chair to the table, especially in a sector that is male dominated like the energy sector.” Olasimbo Sojinrin, Solar Sister Nigeria Country Director, noted that “For some, such as solar home system distributors, their workplace is in the field, not in an office, and women also need to feel protected while working there.” The women and men participating in the discussion agreed that tackling gender-based violence needed shared commitment and action and signed a banner to show their solidarity.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND SOCIAL IMPACT In November, PA-NPSP received all required approvals from Power Africa and USAID/Nigeria for the NPSP Supplemental Initial Environmental Examination (SIEE) and NPSP Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (EMMP). In addition, staff members working on the program’s on- and off-grid transactions took part in USAID/Nigeria’s two-day Environmental Compliance Training for Implementing Partners organized in Abuja on 7 and 8 November 2019.
PROGRAM RESULTS MANAGEMENT Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning Program performance monitoring and reporting: The Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) team continually engages in active data collection and analysis throughout the quarter and across program thematic areas and stakeholders (internally and externally). In conjunction with the PMO, the MEL team regularly tracks trainings, strategic planning documents, and the outcomes of interventions (including added connections and megawatts) to ensure that data are captured and accurately reported at the end of the quarter. The following table provides a snapshot of FY20Q1 results for key performance indicators, with detailed data provided in Appendix C: PA-NPSP Performance Indicator Tracker. Please note that indicator results capture data from 1 October 2019 through 30 November 2019. Due to the holiday season and to accommodate a mandatory 10-day collective shutdown, data covering 1 December 2019 through 31 December 2019 will be reported in FY20Q2.

The team extensively consulted USAID Learning Lab tools and resources for insight on conducting a successful and useful learning exercise. Data quality assessment: On 20 November 2019, USAID contractor DevTech conducted an ad-hoc data quality assessment (DQA). A key outcome from the DQA was the need to capture certain gender- sensitive data and conduct supervisory visits to projects supported, such as REA markets. In response, PA- NPSP reviewed and updated the data collection tools. DevTech warned that a full DQA involves visiting project sites with the DQA team. PA-NPSP is awaiting DevTech’s report stating DQA findings and recommendations.

Knowledge Management Power Africa Transaction Tracker (PATT): PA-NPSP is working closely with the technical teams and PATRP as it transitions from Tetra Tech to ECODIT LLC to ensure that the PATT is up-to-date with current program transactions. Early in FY20Q2, PA-NPSP will work with the ECODIT Data team to complete a PATT “clean-up” exercise and review all transactions in PATT, including legacy PATRP and unassigned transactions. The table below shows anticipated updates figures for PA-NPSP transactions and status, with detail provided in Appendix D: PA-NPSP Transaction Tracker. Out of the 17 legacy PATRP transactions, 16 are off-grid transactions that PATRP did not transfer to PA-NPSP. As a result, in FY20Q2, PA-NPSP will draft and submit for approval new Qualified Transaction Assistance Tools for the 16 off-grid transactions as part of PA-NPSP transactions portfolio.

Update of reporting systems: As part of the reporting requirements, Results Management team promptly updated the USAID Monitor and Power Africa Information System (PAIS) with the performance results for FY18/19. Working together with Power Africa to address system glitches, PA-NPSP successfully uploaded all data to the system. Additionally, the program updated the USAID TraiNet and Develop Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) reporting systems with capacity building activities and relevant program deliverables, respectively.

FINANCE AND OPERATIONS OFFICE
PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 34
FINANCE AND OPERATIONS OFFICE
In close coordination with Deloitte Home Office Management, PA-NPSP utilizes a centralized Finance and Operations Office (FOO) in Abuja to provide the program’s financial and operational services.
FINANCE During the reporting period, the DCOP Finance and Operations and the home office project management team rolled a project management tool to provide efficient program support for technical activities and operations. With the budget uncertainty and funding lag, PA-NPSP postponed staffing some activities such the Lagos integrated resource planning, the Port-Harcourt loss reduction strategy. Also, with the delay of additional obligation, PA-NPSP provided less funds to subcontractors by either partially funding new task orders or delaying execution new task orders for existing subcontractors.
OPERATIONS During the reporting period, the finance team continued to work closely with the PMO team to coordinate and support activities for technical delivery. With the support of the Deloitte Senior Security Manager, PA-NPSP performed a more expanded security assessment of Lagos in anticipation of increased program activities in Lagos state. PA-NPSP established relationships with hotels in Abuja and Lagos to address increased needs for domestic lodging accommodations and worked with local vendor to expand and improve internet services for the project office. Project Staffing During the reporting period, PA-NPSP deployed an Integrated Resource Planning Specialist, a Project Management Specialist, and a Senior Energy Advisor. PA-NPSP obtained credential approval for a financial modelling consultant. PA-NPSP also engaged a local consultant to assess social inclusion and diversity in the energy sector. Subcontractors During the reporting period, PA-NPSP continued to engage the following subcontractor(s)by issuing new task orders: • CrossBoundary; PA-NPSP issued task order 5 • Rocky Mountain Institute; PA-NPSP issued a contract (IDIQ) and task order 1 During the reporting period, PA-NPSP also started the process to issue new task orders for other existing subcontractor(s). Due to funding lag, PA-NPSP had to delay the execution of new task orders for the following subcontractors until the upcoming reporting period. • Energy Market and Regulatory Consultants (EMRC), PA-NPSP will issue task order 3 • Manitoba Hydro International (MHI); PA-NPSP will issue task order task order 4 • McKinsey; PA-NPSP will issue task order 3 • Nextier; PA-NPSP will issue task order 3 During the quarter, PA-NPSP worked on changing the contract for security services from Professional Global Solutions (PGS) to Arete Protean Global Services (Arete) which is a new separate and independent company from Professional Global Solutions (PGS).

7 Baseline figure is inadequate. This is because, at the time of determining baseline and target setting, the program was still at the basics of relationship building with the utilities (determining and agreeing on areas, terms and condition of technical assistance). So, visibility into the DISCOs or relevant public agency to support, type of support required, and anticipated impact was poor. This baseline figure will be updated during the MEL Plan review later in the year. 8 The figure is for April, May and June of 2019 only. While there was a percentage increase in remittance to MOs (36.9% to 73.5%), there was no appreciable improvement in remittance to NBET. So, the gross percentage remittances (to NBET & MOs) rose from 31% to 36.75% (5.75% increase) in the second quarter of FY19. Please note that data for this indicator is delayed because figure is sourced from NERC quarterly reports, which publication is often delayed. PA-NPSP QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT (FY20Q1) 43
