The Africa Clean Energy Technical Assistance Facility (ACE-TAF) launched its Nigeria programme on 28 August. ACE-TAF, which is funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DfID), was launched in June in Côte d’Ivoire at the third round of the African Development Bank’s Africa Energy Market Place as a four-year initiative to support a series of energy compacts agreed between DfID and 14 African countries.
