Call for Expressions of Interest: Article Writers Renewable Energy Standards & Compliance Awareness Campaign in Nigeria

Context

The continued expansion of Nigeria’s renewable energy market has been accompanied by

inconsistent product quality, variable installation standards, and limited consumer awareness of

applicable certification and compliance requirements. The Renewable Energy Association of

Nigeria (REAN) is commissioning a series of articles that document the current gaps in standards

and compliance, explain how consumers and industry stakeholders can identify and adopt quality

practices, and set out clear recommendations for strengthening market oversight, giving

consumers, installers, and regulators a clear, evidence-based basis for action.

Objective

These articles are intended to inform consumer and industry understanding of renewable energy

standards, quality assurance, and compliance obligations by presenting the current gaps in

market oversight, the risks associated with substandard products and practices, and the measures

required to address them. They also aim to call on consumers, installers, and industry

stakeholders to adopt safer, higher-quality practices across the value chain.

Scope

The article (1,000–1,500 words) should explain the current landscape of standards and

compliance in Nigeria’s renewable energy sector, address how consumers can identify quality,

certified products and services, outline the risks associated with substandard products and

installation practices, and examine the relevant regulatory and institutional landscape, setting out

well-supported, actionable recommendations for strengthening standards and compliance. The

article should be data-driven and supported by local and international case studies where

relevant. The full scope of work is detailed in the Terms of Reference.

Qualifications

Applicants should demonstrate a track record in policy writing, journalism, or research within

the energy, standards, or compliance sector, with the ability to translate complex regulatory and

technical concepts into content that is clear and accessible to a broad audience. Experience in

gender-inclusive energy access or development policy is considered an advantage.
