DAY ONE · FEATURED SESSION

Policy, Leadership & Investment

Strengthening the regulatory and investment foundations for Nigeria's electric-mobility transition.

REGULATORY ROUNDTABLE

Creating an Investable Charging Market for Nigeria

A regulatory roundtable examining licensing, electricity tariffs, land access, technical approvals, consumer protection and the respective responsibilities of federal and state institutions.

Proposed Participants

NERC Standards Organisation of Nigeria NADDC REA Pi-CNG & EV State electricity regulators Electricity distribution companies Charging operators Infrastructure investors

Session Output

Proposed Output: A NEMES policy note identifying regulatory gaps and priority actions for a dependable national charging market.

DAY TWO · FEATURED SESSIONS

Technology, Infrastructure & Industrial Development

Four focused sessions examining what makes charging infrastructure bankable, interoperable, safe and reliable.

01
COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL

Powering the Charger: Bankable Infrastructure for Nigeria's Grid Reality

A commercial and technical examination of how charging networks can operate profitably and reliably despite grid limitations, high energy costs and uncertain early-stage utilisation.

Discussion areas

Capital expenditure and operating costs Charger utilisation and break-even thresholds Public charging versus fleet and depot charging Electricity procurement and service-band exposure Solar, battery-storage and hybrid energy configurations Pricing models, subscriptions and roaming Equipment finance, infrastructure funds and blended capital Maintenance costs and lifecycle performance

Proposed Output: A Nigerian charging-station investment framework covering cost assumptions, revenue models, bankability requirements and major risks.

02
TECHNICAL ROUNDTABLE

One Market, Compatible Infrastructure: Standards, Safety and Interoperability

A technical roundtable on establishing a trusted and compatible charging ecosystem that prevents fragmented connector systems, unsafe installations and stranded infrastructure.

Discussion areas

AC and DC connector standards Charger-to-vehicle compatibility Communications protocols and smart charging Payment interoperability and network roaming Electrical protection, earthing and fire safety Charger testing, certification and conformity assessment Installation and technician competency requirements Cybersecurity, data ownership and consumer protection Battery-swapping standards for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers

Proposed Output: A NEMES Charging Standards Priority Matrix identifying immediate, medium-term and emerging standardisation requirements.

03
ENGINEERING

Always Available: Engineering Reliable Charging Systems

A practical engineering session focused on charger uptime and dependable energy supply under Nigerian operating conditions.

Discussion areas

Grid availability and voltage quality Solar-generation and battery-storage sizing Energy management and load balancing Backup-power architecture without diesel dependence Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance Spare-parts availability and service-level agreements Heat, flooding, dust, vandalism and environmental protection Charger uptime measurement and public reporting Resilience planning for fleet and public-transport operations

Proposed Output: A minimum reliability checklist for charging projects presented through the NEMES Marketplace.

04
EVIDENCE-LED FORUM

Charging Infrastructure Case-Study Forum

A practical forum featuring operational or near-operational Nigerian charging and battery-swapping projects. This forum is positioned as an evidence-led session rather than a promotional presentation.

Potential case studies

NEDC's North-East electric-mobility and charging programme Solar-supported charging and battery-swapping networks Commercial fleet depots Filling-station charging conversions Shopping-centre and hospitality charging University and institutional charging hubs State-led electric public-transport projects

Case-study presenters will be expected to provide:

Number and capacity of chargers Energy source Capital cost Utilisation Uptime Charging price Maintenance structure Vehicles served Implementation lessons

Day Two Outcome

Bankable Infrastructure + Industrial Readiness

DAY THREE · PROGRAMME ELEMENTS

Market Activation & Experience

From curated deal rooms to live demonstrations, Day Three turns the charging-infrastructure conversation into investable, testable action.

CURATED DEAL ROOM

Charging Infrastructure Investment Marketplace

A curated deal room connecting charging developers, state governments, fleet operators, property owners, energy companies, equipment manufacturers and financiers.

Projects presented may include

Interstate charging corridors Urban fast-charging hubs Bus and commercial-fleet depots Solar-powered battery-swapping stations Charging facilities at malls, hotels and workplaces State and municipal transport projects Charging-plus-mini-grid developments
LIVE DEMONSTRATION

Live Resilient-Charging Experience

A complete charging-system demonstration showing how vehicles, chargers, energy sources, payments and monitoring work together.

Demonstration features

Grid, solar and battery inputs Live charging speed and energy consumption Mobile or card payment Load management Remote monitoring Connector compatibility Emergency isolation and safety controls Cost per charging session

Static or disconnected chargers are not presented as the principal demonstration. The experience communicates how vehicles, chargers, energy sources, payments and monitoring work together.

Day Three Outcome

Adoption + Investable Opportunities
