How often is the electricity data updated?

Grid data is updated hourly, sourced directly from NERC and Nigeria's national grid operators. Historical data stretches back 10+ years for trend, policy, and investment analysis.

Where does the data come from?

All Nigeria data is sourced from official grid operators and NERC (Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission). The 54 African country profiles draw from international energy databases including IEA and national operator reports.

Which African countries are covered?

Elec-T covers all 54 African countries with energy profiles including generation capacity, grid performance, and supply mix data. Nigeria is covered in the deepest detail, with hourly updates across 8 data domains: generation, transmission, distribution, customer, off-grid, oil & gas, world energy, and economics.

Is Elec-T free to use?

Yes. Public electricity datasets and dashboards are accessible without an account. Contact the team if you need enterprise data access, API integration, or custom reporting.

Who uses this platform?

Elec-T is used by government agencies, energy regulators, utility companies, investment analysts, academic researchers, and energy professionals across Nigeria and Africa.

What data domains does Elec-T cover?
