Power grid resilience key to energy security – FG

The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, emphasized the importance of electricity grid resilience in national and international security during his keynote address at the Middle East Energy 2026 Leadership Summit in Dubai. He argued that energy security should now encompass the resilience of the entire energy system, including critical mineral supply chains, grid infrastructure, capital, and institutions.

Tegbe highlighted Nigeria's power sector reforms aimed at creating certainty to attract investment and stressed that affordability is itself a security issue. He also called for an orderly, just, and responsive global energy transition that takes into account the circumstances of individual nations. Nigeria's significant gas reserves and reliable LNG supply to Europe and Asia were highlighted as contributing to its role in the global energy security conversation.
