据今日油价网站4月22日消息 世界银行在一份关于非洲最大欧佩克产油国的估计中称，由于电力供应不可靠，尼日利亚企业每年损失约290亿美元。

　　据尼日利亚媒体报道，世界银行在本周与记者举行的一次虚拟会议上表示：“尼日利亚公用事业公司的电费只有收到的一半?！?/p>

　　世界银行表示，由于配电基础设施不完善和窃电，配电公司在收到的电力上亏本，而另一部分则输给了不付账的客户。

　　根据世界银行的电力部门复苏计划简报，登记的客户中有六成没有计量，他们的电费也不透明、不清楚，从而导致了支付电费的阻力。

　　尽管尼日利亚是石油和天然气的主要生产国，但据世界银行估计，尼日利亚是世界上能源短缺最严重的国家。共有8500万尼日利亚人无法使用电网，这意味着43%的人口无法使用电网。

　　世界银行今年2月表示，根据《2020年世界银行营商环境报告》，尼日利亚在190个国家中获得电力的排名为171位，电力供应被视为私营行业的主要制约因素之一。

　　当时，世界银行批准了5亿美元，以支持尼日利亚政府改善该国的配电行业。世行资助的这一项目有望通过尼日利亚人长期以来所希望的大规模计量计划，改善配电公司DISCOs的业绩，从而有助于促进电力供应。

　　Africa’s Largest Oil Producer Loses $29B Per Year On Power Outages

　　Businesses in Nigeria are losing each year around US$29 billion because of the unreliable power supply, the World Bank said in an estimate about the OPEC country, which is the largest oil producer in Africa.

　　“Businesses in Nigeria lose about $29bn annually because of unreliable electricity. Nigerian utilities get paid for only a half of electricity they receive,” the World Bank said in a presentation at a virtual meeting with journalists this week, Nigerian outlet Punch reported.

　　Distribution power companies lose money on the electricity they receive as part of it is lost to poor distribution infrastructure and power theft, while another part is lost to customers not paying their bills, the World Bank said.

　　“Six in 10 of registered customers are not metered, and their electricity bills are not transparent and clear. This contributes to resistance to pay electricity bills,” according to the World Bank’s Power Sector Recovery Programme fact sheet carried by Punch.

　　Despite being a major producer of oil and gas, Nigeria is the country with the largest energy access deficit in the world, the World Bank has estimated. A total of 85 million Nigerians do not have access to grid electricity, which means that 43 percent of the population is without access to the grid.

　　According to the 2020 World Bank Doing Business report, Nigeria ranks 171 out of 190 countries in getting electricity and electricity access is seen as one of the major constraints for the private sector, the bank said in February this year.

　　Back then, the World Bank approved US$500 million to support the government of Nigeria in improving the country’s electricity distribution sector. The project funded by the bank is expected to help to boost electricity access by improving the performance of the Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) through a large-scale metering program desired by Nigerians for a long time.
