## Executive Summary
This repository contains quantitative analysis and financial modeling aligned with the comprehensive study on Nigeria's power sector stabilization through three integrated capital market solutions:
1. **Green Infrastructure Bonds** – $500M issuance for grid modernization and renewable energy
2. **Securitization of Electricity Receivables** – Unlock DisCo liquidity for infrastructure upgrades
3. **Blended Finance for Off-Grid Renewables** – Scale mini-grid deployment in underserved areas
**Critical Finding**: Despite ₦3.348 trillion in government subsidies (2015–2023), Nigeria's power sector loses **$29 billion USD annually** due to inefficiencies, aging infrastructure, and underinvestment. This framework quantifies how private capital mobilization can unlock **$90 billion USD** in investment capacity.
