1.1 Problem Statement
Most of the two billion people without access to electricity live in thinly populated areas in
developing countries and the extension of the grid to these areas for economical reasons not
feasible (Haufstein, 1996)observe that at this very moment a large part of the global village lives
in !overty and suffers a lac" of water, as result electricity which is consider as one of the ma#or
source of cleaner energy $n %ub&%aharan 'frica, less than 1() of the rural population has access
to electricity and due to high population growth, the number of people without electricity is
expected to rise in the sub & region*he +$' estimates that, if current trends do not change, the
number of people without electricity will rise to 1, billion by the year ,(-( However, +nergy
poverty is a phenomenon describing non availability of, or inade.uacies in accessing affordable,
reliable, .uality, safe and environmentally benign energy services to support sustainable
economic and human development !oor people mostly women and children need energy
(electricity) for many tas"s (lighting, coo"ing, mechanical power, heating, cooling and
communication), to meet their basic need for all inclusive sustainable development 'bove stated
issues re.uired .uestions/ what source of energy that is re.uired to access that will improve the
people standard of living0 $s energy poverty as a result of energy accessibility0
1.2. Objectives of the Stuy
*he general ob#ective of this study is to analy1e the +lectricity +nergy source for rural woman in
2igeria, More specifically the study intends to/
1 'ssess the impact of +lectricity +nergy as a mix of policy in 2igeria
, %uggest the way forward out of the current energy policy mixed for +nergy accessibility
1.!. "ustification for the Stuy
%ince electrification commenced, rural electrification has brought many benefits to remote and
rural societies *oday, it plays a vital role in such societies, socially, environmentally and
economically %ince very large and reasonable number of inhabitants of these rural and remote
communities still lac" re.uired energy to alleviate their poverty, the study is highly necessary to
address/ *he best source, form and means of providing electricity, ma"ing it accessible and
affordable for the communities $t is noted that rural and remote areas often have substantial
renewable energy potential *he $+' 3enewable +nergy 4or"ing 5roup !arty ($+' 1999)
argues that renewables are localised energy sources and that their deployment benefits rural and
remote communities in terms of employment and income generation 2ew technologies effect at
both the supply side and the demand side and there is reason to believe that current developments
and trends in the power sector will have an effect on the way rural electricity supply is
approached $t is also li"ely that the developments will not only influence new systems but also
existing rural electricity supply schemes !revious wor" do not consider the wor" energy access
of rural woman far away from the grid, but rather on income and wealth, therefore this study
address constraints and drawbac"s from both the demand and supply sides of electricity energy
sources electricity on the inhabitants6 economic wellbeing
1.# Scope of the Stuy
*his study will consider the impact of +lectricity access to rural woman energy policy reform in
2igeria using a comparative analysis $t focuses on energy poverty and energy access policy in
2igeria *he study will ma"e use of survey data of sta"e holder in the electricity sector ascertain
efficiency energy poverty policy in 2igeria *he period of ,((7 to ,(1, this is because the
period witness a lot of issues with the policy in 2igeria
1.$ Plan of the Stuy
study comprises of five chapters, chapter one introduces the topic, chapter two present the and
literature review and bac"ground of the study, while chapter three is the research methodology ,
chapter four presents the empirical data analysis and interpretation of results, and the final
chapter presents the policy findings and study conclusions
