Solar photovoltaics combined with battery storage could meet 66% of Lagos's projected 2050 energy demand without significant infrastructure upgrades. Commissioned by C40 Cities, Arup conducted an extensive study reviewing Lagos's current energy supply and demand, its projected future needs, and the potential of various renewable technologies.
The study estimated a total local renewable energy generation potential of 25 GW by 2050 – primarily from solar power. Solar photovoltaics combined with battery storage could meet 66% of Lagos's projected 2050 energy demand without significant infrastructure upgrades.
The electricity generation from solar energy in Nigeria was estimated from solar radiation data, and this showed that some areas in the North had the highest capacity for electricity generation. Estimations were done assuming 1 kWp PV modules and electricity generation results estimated in kWh.
Commissioned by C40 Cities, Arup conducted an extensive study reviewing Lagos's current energy supply and demand, its projected future needs, and the potential of various renewable technologies. We recommended a suite of measures, including localised solar power generation, energy efficiency improvements, and battery storage solutions.
The study was focused on the potential benefits of solar energy in Nigeria, her systems, and her applications. Solar energy is the most important renewable energy because all other renewable energies are directly or indirectly connected to it (Wind energy, hydropower, biomass, biogas, etc.).
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
