In this paper, we explored the interplay between the electricity market structure, methods of electricity trading and different stakeholder dynamics within the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) with a view to understanding how these interplays impact on various forms of interventions in the Nigerian electricity sector. We started off by exploring the market structure and electricity trading system within the Nigerian electricity sector and reviewed the various stakeholder groups within centralized and decentralized electricity systems in Nigeria's electricity sector by highlighting their core responsibilities and the dynamics at play in satisfying their interests. This study revealed that: (1) external stakeholder groups (such as donor agencies and multi-lateral organizations) exert more influence in Nigeria's electricity sector through financial interventions; (2) lack of coordination and engagement among various stakeholder groups pose a challenge to effective electricity infrastructure interventions that address the needs of people in society. The study concludes by highlighting the implications of these challenges and the need to address the rising complexities and uncertainties for better stakeholder involvement in addressing the salient challenges in the sector.
在本文中，我们探讨了尼日利亚电力供应行业（NESI）中电力市场结构、电力交易方法与不同利益相关者动态之间的相互作用，旨在了解这些相互作用如何影响尼日利亚电力部门的各种形式的干预措施。我们首先探讨了尼日利亚电力部门的市场结构和电力交易系统，并通过突出其核心职责以及在满足自身利益方面所起的动态作用，对尼日利亚电力部门集中式和分散式电力系统中的各个利益相关者群体进行了审视。本研究表明：（1）外部利益相关者群体（如捐助机构和多边组织）通过金融干预在尼日利亚电力部门发挥更大影响；（2）各利益相关者群体之间缺乏协调与参与，对有效解决社会民众需求的电力基础设施干预措施构成挑战。该研究最后强调了这些挑战的影响，以及应对日益增加的复杂性和不确定性以更好地让利益相关者参与解决该部门突出挑战的必要性。
